Théodore Dubois
“A fabulous find” – The Toronto Star

This recording is the second in a critically-acclaimed series entitled Découvertes 1890-1939 featuring pianist Stéphane Lemelin and his colleagues Anne Robert and Paul Marleyn, who together form the Trio Hochelaga, performing works by little-known French composers. They are joined by oboist Philippe Magnan and violist Jean-Luc Plourde to perform a quartet and quintet by Théodore Dubois, a leading light of the French musical establishment at the beginning of the 20th century. ATMA’s 2006 recording of music by Dubois was praised for its “finely wrought passion” by the Globe and Mail.

Irreproachable Interpretation!

Dubois' music is in the best of hands with the young Trio Hochelaga. The Canadian musicians please with their tender, flexible, and feather-light playing, which perfectly suits the classical structure of these works. Their ensemble is precise and intonation sure. Happily, such technical finesse does not lead to emotional reserve: the right amount of Romantic effusiveness is also present, creating a lively and warm performance. The sound is supported by a remarkably balanced and clear recording which ensures a perfect sound perspective. One eagerly awaits the rest of the series.”

"It is a Great plesure to hear such fine music from an unexpected source. The playing is lovely, the recorded sound excellent."

"Glory in Canada !
The recording in progress of the complete chamber music works of Dubois is a laudable idea and a rediscovery of importance. One cannot dream of a more perfect match between the elegance and virtuosity of the performers and the scores, which are as refined in their balance of different planes as in the sensuality of their sound."
