Michel Fourgon is a most endearing composer

"His music, though clearly of our times, does not negate inheritance from the past but all this is woven into a strongly personal musical language that is neither reactionary nor extravagantly modern. Although it may be complex and intricately worked-out, this music communicates straight-away through its sheer expressive strength.

These performances were all recorded live but the audiences fortunately enough succeeded in keeping quiet. Pascal Rophé whose empathy with contemporary music is well known and deservedly admired conducts well prepared and committed readings of these often quite beautiful works. He is wonderfully partnered by the ever-responsive Liège orchestra.

Michel Fourgon is a most endearing composer whose deeply felt, superbly crafted and communicative music deserves more than the occasional hearing; indeed repeated hearings will yield rewards. This disc should appeal to anyone willing to investigate contemporary though accessible music."
