A pity that a more fitting coupling was not provided. Encouraged by Nagano while a double-bassist at the Lyon Opéra, Jean-Pascal Beintus has since enjoyed success on both sides of the Atlantic mainly with his film scores. Taken from a production of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s Le petit prince, this concert suite depicts incidents from the story over 10 brief movements whose technical finesse cannot disguise their stylistic derivativeness or paucity of invention.
Recommended for the Rihm, among the most impressive of his recent works. Both sound and notes leave little to be desired, but might Capriccio put an English translation on its website?
