Paul Fauchet - Symphony in B-flat

The "Symphonie pour Musique d'Harmonie" by Paul Fauchet (1881-1937), which was certainly produced by the Garde and its director Guillaume Balay in 1926, strangely fell rapidly into oblivion in his own country. Yet, this music was rapidly exported to other countries like the United States and Japan, where it was received with enthusiasm. It is probably the first symphony for wind orchestra with its traditional four movements. Here in France, the musicians of the Musique de la Police Nationale conducted by Jérôme Hilaire at the concert given in the Théâtre de l'Onde in Vélizy-Villacoublay, are reviving the spirit of the original version of 1926. It is based on the complete recasting which is now (finally!) available at Editions Robert Martin. Trying to stick to the original text as strictly as possible, the music shows an "instrumentarium" (instrumentation) which is above all balanced and which doesn't weigh down the lower registers. You will hear all saxhorns with their clear brass instruments without forgetting the "batterie" (percussion instruments), used in the original way by the Garde.
