This recording presents three Rhapsodies performed by pianist Alain Lefèvre with the Montréal Symphony Orchestra. This event was the world premiere of the Rhapsodie romantique, written nearly fifty years earlier by Montrealer composer André Mathieu.
To the Ancient Greeks, a rhapsody was a literary work consisting of a series of poems of epic character strung together and sung by a rhapsode. A more modern concept understands a rhapsody to be an ecstatic, high-flown or strongly emotional utterance or literary work. By extension, a musical composition bearing the title “Rhapsody” may bring expectations of being a highly-charged instrumental work in irregular, free or improvisatory form, usually laid out as a single movement consisting of several linked sections. Each of the works on this album reveals a different composer’s liberal interpretation of the term “rhapsody.”
