Info for Microcosmi

The repertoire presented by Ensemble Musagète is characterized as a quest to bring great symphonic music into the realm of chamber music in a transparent and intimate way. The success and interest that this musical offering has created in concert-goers has been gratifying and has encouraged us to continue along these lines. The musicians themselves, when placed in front of well-known scores that had been radically transformed into chamber music reacted with enthusiasm because the technical virtuosity and the transparency of the detail of these transcriptions allowed for many sections to be revived and deeply understood. From all this, the idea was born to take these transcriptions to the recording studio and give way to a series with the same title: Microcosms. From big to small. The choice of scores took place following two guidelines. The first was that of selecting contemporary transcriptions that restored the spirit of a past time period. The second was that of emphasizing transcriptions specifically created for Ensemble Musagète and custom-made for its musicians.
