About

The musicians on this album are some of the best in Canada. Pianist Alain Lefèvre, Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra, and its conductor Alexander Shelley and composer Walter Boudreau have come together for the world premiere recording of Boudreau’s masterful Concerto de l’asile, a tribute to the playwright and poet Claude Gauvreau (1925-1971). A musical summit that will mark the history of contemporary music!

In addition to this concerto, you will hear the classic Scheherazade, op.35 by Nikolai Rimski-Korsakov. The orchestra and its conductor unfold an epic tableau from One Thousand and One Nights as they conjure to life the brilliant and cunning Scheherazade who emerges victorious in her resistance against the evil Shahriar. Splendid!

Reviews

Between familiar Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov is Walter Boudreau's contemporary Asylum Concerto. As its name implies, it's a rowdy beast, its demands well negotiated here by Alain Lefèvre.  Jeremy Pound
