    Duo Azar Carl-Emmanuel Fisbach, saxophone Wenjiao Wang, piano Born to a bicultural French-South American artistic family, Carl- Emmanuel Fisbach has consistently sought to explore and expand the saxophone’s repertoire. Above and beyond the more traditional works he performs as a soloist (Auvergne Orchestra, Ekaterinburg Philharmonic) and within the Denisov and Azar Duos, he collaborates regularly with composers and ensembles (Ensemble Intercontemporain, Red Note Ensemble) and is a member of the “Futurs composés” network dedicated to new music. He integrates transcriptions into his repertoire, including tango. This open and eclectic approach has led to invitations to perform in international festivals (Flâneries Musicales de Reims, Festival Archipel Geneva, Shanghai Oriental Arts Center, Suntory Hall Tokyo). His recordings feature Hispanic repertoire (Duo Azar, PAI Records, 2011) and new works for saxophone and cello (Denisov Duo, Meyer Foundation, 2014). A third CD for saxophone and percussion with original arrangements by Piazzolla and new works is released in 2016 (Tango Continuo, Paraty–Harmonia Mundi). Carl-Emmanuel Fisbach teaches at the Conservatories of the Paris 9th and 15th arrondissements, is a guest Professor at the Conservatoire of Lima, and has given master-classes throughout Europe, South America and Asia. A graduate of the Paris Conservatoire, he is a prize-winner in several national and international competitions. Wenjiao Wang was born in China in 1985.

  • Adrienne Albert
    Piccolodeon for Piccolo and Piano Adrienne Albert PICCOLODEON is a duet for piccolo and piano that expresses the mood and sonority of the “Nickelodeon,” an early 20th-century arcade instrument used for silent movies, carousels, and vaudeville theatre. The Piccolodeon piece begins as a playful ragtime with the instruments in sync. Gradually, the ensemble unravels to the point for Piccolo and Piano where it’s a toss-up as to which player is off. This musical gem is full of surprise and delight! ADRIENNE ALBERT began her musical career as a singer and collaborator with composers including Igor Stravinsky, Leonard Bernstein, and Philip Glass. She began composing her own music in the 1990s. Adrienne’s chamber, orchestral, choral, vocal, and band works are extensively performed throughout the world. She has received awards including grants and prizes from the National Endowment for the Arts, American Composers Forum, MTC/Rockefeller Foundation, and numerous other organizations. Ms. Albert’s commissions have come from music schools, soloists, universities, and chamber ensembles. She has been Composer-In-Residence at California State University at Fresno, and California State University at Sacramento. Her music is recorded on the Albany, Naxos, Centaur, MRS, Navona, Little Piper, and ABC Classics labels. Also available by Adrienne Albert: ACROSS THE C’S for Mixed Flute Quintet ACROSS THE C’S is an original work by the celebrated American composer Adrienne Albert. This 6-minute work was commissioned by the Norwegian quintet “5 på Tvers/5 Across” who traveled across the seas to premiere the work at the 2015 NFA convention. In addition to the beautiful flowing feel of an ocean crossing, the music begins and ends with a special sonority of winds blowing on the open sea.

  • Roger Delmotte: Doyen of the French Classical Trumpet
    Roger Delmotte: Doyen of the French Classical Trumpet Roger Delmotte in 1970 Success in Geneva “Merci Monsieur Foveau” With these words the 25-year-old trumpet player Roger Delmotte, who had just won the Geneva International Competition for trumpet, thanked Eugène Foveau (1886-1957) for preparing him and sending him to the competition. Conservatoire de musique Genève The 6th Geneva International Music Competition 1950 was held for the categories vocal, piano, organ, violin, clarinet and trumpet. Some 255 candidates from 30 countries applied for the competition, 66 of whom passed the preliminary round and made it to the finals with a public performance. The jury included, amongst others, Igor Markevitch, Eugène Bigot and trumpet virtuoso Paolo Longinotti (1913 – 1963). Three test pieces had to be performed for the competition - the brand-new contemporary trumpet intrada by Arthur Honnegger (published in 1947 and written for the Paris Conservatory Concours), the Gavotte de Concert by Heinrich Sutermeister (published in 1950) and the Joseph Haydn trumpet concerto - to demonstrate musical excellence, finesse and proficiency. Arthur Honegger Intrada for trumpet in C and piano in B flat major (H. 193), 1947 Heinrich Sutermeister Gavotte de Concert, for trumpet and piano, 1950 Joseph Haydn Konzert für Trompete und Orchester in Es-Dur, Hob. VIIe:1 (Concerto per il Clarino), 1796 Trumpet test pieces for Geneva 1950 For preparing the Haydn trumpet concerto, only very few recordings were available at that time: - George Eskdale (1897 – 1960), recorded in 1939 (2nd and 3rd movement only) - Harry Mortimer (1902 – 1992), recorded in 1946 Roger Delmotte used the Harry Mortimer 78 rpm recording (Columbia DX 1535-36) to prepare the Haydn part of the Geneva competition.
