Info for Napoli! (Deluxe Edition)

Continuing her exploration of the cello repertoire, on Napoli!, Ophélie Gaillard takes listeners on a tour of baroque Naples. We meet emblematic figures such as virtuosos Fiorenza, Lanzetti and Francischello, the composers Durante and Leo, the Spanish Ortiz and the Madrid-born Corselli, and even, in the course of a sonata or a dance, Scaramouche, Harlequin and their comrades from the commedia dell'arte. The Neapolitan soul is revealed in all this richness: hybrid, sensual, contrasting, both theatrical and profoundly authentic. Alongside the Pulcinella Orchestra as well as Sandrine Piau, Marina Viotti and Luan Góes, Ophélie Gaillard's cello draws on it's many sources, from popular to lyrical, secular to sacred. Unpublished works by Porpora, Bonno and Barbella confirm that Naples has not finished giving up it's secrets.

Ophélie Gaillard
Her “technical fluency is unimpeachable. Herintonation … is impeccable. She plays with a ripe, absolutely luscious tone. Her use of vibrato iscircumspect and period- appropriate. She isscrupulous about observing repeats and her use of ornamentation is elegant and understated. The fluidity and unself-conscious physicality of Gaillard’s playing keeps the listener aware that, except for the preludes, this is sunny, dance-basedmusic.”

So wrote the critic Stephen Eddins (Allmusic) of her recent Bach recording (2011), while back in 2007 The Times hailed her “wizardfingering, big lyrical heart and kaleidoscope of colours”.

An insatiable curiosity, a taste for risk, an immoderate appetite for the whole of the concertedcello repertoire, complete disregard of limits and petty quarrels: those are no doubt the features thathave always set this brilliant Franco-Swissmusician apart. Her passion? Working from the sources, inquiring into the text, using her virtuosityto bring out the musical discourse and make the music loved by all.

Named “Revelation: Solo Instrumentalist of the Year” at the French Classical Music Awards(Victoires) in 2003, she has since appeared in recital at many prestigious venues: Concertgebouw Bruges and Amsterdam; Bozarand Flagey, Brussels; the theatres of Bordeaux, Avignon, Poissy, Aix-en-Provence; the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris; Oji Hall, Tokyo; London’sWigmore Hall; and so on.

She also performs works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and has recorded, for instance, Britten’s complete Cello Suites and Piano Sonatas with Vanessa Wagner (Diapason d’Or, Choc du Monde de la Musique) and Pierre Bartholomée’s Oraison for solo cello.

Her solo album Dreams (Aparté) recorded in 2009 at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, proved to be a great public success.

Versatile artist, Ophelie Gaillard also regularlyperforms as a soloist with orchestras such as the Japan Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the Polish Radio Orchestra and the National Radio Orchestra of Romania, the Franz Liszt ChamberOrchestra of Budapest, the Moscow ChamberOrchestra, the Toulouse Chamber Orchestra, the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, the SlovakPhilharmonic Orchestra, etc….

Ophélie Gaillard has won several prizes in major international competitions, including, most notably, The third prize of the J. S. Bach International CelloCompetition in Leipzig in 1998. In 2010 she wasinvited to sit on the jury for the ARD International Cello Competition in Munich.

She appears regularly on radio (France Musique, France Culture, France Inter, Radio Classique, BBC Radio 3, Espace 2) and television (France 2, Mezzo, Arte).

2015 her double ALVORADA CD was awardedStar Recording by the Strad Magazine. This programme, a journey into popular Spanish and Latin American musics was on tour in France, Italy(MiTo Festival), Mexico (Cervantino Festival), withBrazilian singer Toquinho among others and 2016 her second CPEBACH recording was hailed by the critic and received a Diapason d’or, Choc de la Musique Classica, FFFF Telerama.

Among other recordings highly acclaimed as well, Exils with Bloch’s Schelomo coupled with the Korngold’s cello concerto with the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra under British conductorJames Judd, Strauss’ Don Quixote with the CzechNational Symphony Orchestra, Boccherini withPulcinella Oorchestra.
