SUMMARY:Emile Gueorguiev Naoumoff\, Piano Solo at Consulate General of France
DESCRIPTION:Emile Gueorguiev Naoumoff\, Piano Solo \nCentenial Celebration of the international Legacy of Gabriel Fauré (1845 – 1924) \nBulgarian-born pianist\, composer and former child prodigy Emile Naoumoff is also the last student of Nadia Boulanger\, one of the most prominent and influential musical figures of the twentieth century. “Mademoiselle” [Nadia Boulanger] was a student of Gabriel Fauré\, she became a close friend to Stravinsky and Poulenc\, and taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century. \nThis program reflects on her incredible relationships with her professor Gabriel Fauré\, her classmate and colleague Maurice Ravel\, and her last student Emile Naoumoff. It also celebrates the 100th anniversary of Fauré’s death\, by proposing Naoumoff’s solo piano transcription of the composer’s Requiem. \nMatthieu Cognet \nArtistic Director for the French American Piano Society \n“At the tender age of seven\, destiny smiled upon me as Mademoiselle Boulanger chose me to be her final disciple. Entering her eighth decade of an illustrious pedagogical journey that had profoundly influenced the foremost composers of the twentieth century\, starting with Copland\, my early life became a jubilant and inspirational odyssey—a journey not without its daily challenges and demanding trials. \nAs a disciple of Fauré in her own youth\, Mademoiselle Boulanger became the conduit through which the true aesthetics of his musical language flowed to me directly from the source. Remarkably\, she went on to make history by becoming the first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic in Fauré’s Requiem. Among her esteemed peers from Fauré’s composition class at the Paris Conservatory was none other than the renowned Maurice Ravel. \nIn shaping my own musical identity\, I carry forward this exclusive French music lineage\, a legacy entrusted to me and one that I\, in turn\, impart to my own students. \nIn honor of the centennial year marking Fauré’s passing\, I am excited to present his Requiem in my own piano transcription\, alongside Ravel’s Valses Nobles et Sentimentales\, my mentor’s Vers la Vie Nouvelle (Towards the New Life)\, and my own creation\, Valse pour Nadia. \nFauré remains my musical homeland\, and in celebrating his legacy\, I echo his timeless melodies with heartfelt reverence—Fauré est mon pays!” \nÉmile Naoumoff \nGabriel Urbain Fauré (1845 – 1924) \nRequiem Opus 48 (1887) \nIntroït and Kyrie \nOffertorium \nSanctus \nPie Jesu \nAgnus Dei \nLibera me \nIn Paradisum \nPiano transcription by Emile Naoumoff \nValses Nobles et Sentimentales \nMaurice Ravel (1875-1937) \nValses Nobles et Sentimentales \nModéré – très franc \nAssez lent \nModéré \nAssez animé \nPresque lent \nVif \nMoins vif \nÉpilogue : lent \nNadia Boulanger (1887-1979) \nVers la vie nouvelle (1918) \nEmile Naoumoff (1962) \nValse pour Nadia (1996)
