Digital Booklet
Eugène Anthiome est ce genre d'artiste romantique et romanesque qui pourrait aisément passer inaperçu si son intégrité et son talent ne l'avaient sauvé malgré lui de l'oubli. Car ce pianiste virtuose, né en 1836 à Lorient, semble avoir lui-même programmé sa fuite toujours plus radicale des mondanités carriéristes, malgré des débuts parisiens remarqués et une solide reconnaissance de l'institution. Auréolé d'un Second Grand Prix de Rome qui vient garnir un palmarès déjà brillant, jeune professeur de piano au Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique (qui vit passer un certain Maurice Ravel sur sa banquette), pourquoi Eugène Anthiome, compositeur prolixe et prometteur, n'a-t-il pas su/voulu capitaliser l'intérêt des salles prestigieuses qui ne renâclaient pas à le programmer ? C'était sans compter sur un heureux hasard qui a mis sur le chemin de Michel Léger, amateur et soutien passionné de musique, un lot important de partitions manuscrites d'Eugene Anthiome, dans le grenier de sa maison bretonne. Et l'enthousiasme de l'Ensemble Contraste à extirper ces bijoux de leur discrète poussière. Ces rencontres sont à l'origine d'un disque étonnant, réunissant des pièces de musique de chambre et vocale, nées de la plume d'un compositeur qui noircissait avec obstination des pages entières de sa patte originale sans les destiner à la postérité, avant que la mort ne le cueille, étouffée par le brouhaha de la Grande Guerre, en 1916. Des pièces de factures très variées composent cet enregistrement, tel ce "Grand Trio" pour piano, violon et violoncelle, dont l'architecture classique rend hommage aux grands maîtres, sans empêcher, a aucun moment, le souffle émouvant d'un musicien unique dans son siècle.  Eugene Anthiome is that kind of romantic and romantic artist who could easily go unnoticed if his integrity and talent had not saved him from oblivion. For this virtuoso pianist, born in 1836 in Lorient, seems to have programmed his own ever more radical escape from careerist worldliness, despite a remarkable Parisian debut and a solid recognition of the institution. Auréolé of a Second Grand Prix of Rome which comes to garnish an already brilliant palmarès, young professor of piano with the Superior Conservatory of Music (which saw passing a certain Maurice Ravel on his bench), why Eugène Anthiome, prolix and promising composer, did not know how to capitalize the interest of the prestigious rooms which did not hesitate to program it? It was without counting on a happy chance which put on the way of Michel Léger, amateur and passionate support of music, an important batch of handwritten scores of Eugene Anthiome, in the attic of his Breton house. And the enthusiasm of the Ensemble Contrast to remove these jewels from their discreet dust. These encounters are at the origin of an astonishing record, bringing together chamber and vocal music pieces, born from the pen of a composer who obstinately blackened entire pages of his original paw without destining them to posterity, before death picked him up, suffocated by the brouhaha of the Great War, in 1916. This recording is composed of very varied pieces, such as this "Grand Trio" for piano, violin and cello, whose classical architecture pays homage to the great masters, without preventing, at any time, the moving breath of a musician unique in his century.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
