Description



Guy-Joseph Ropartz was a Franck pupil: a composer and administrator, who during the tumultuous years before World War I made friends on all political sides in France, and after it became director of the Strausbourg Conservatory. He refused to be drawn into the various debates that raged on all sides, and preferred teaching and raising his family. He was by his admission a Celtic Breton, and much of his programmatic music centered around that, but he also composed a great many non-programmatic works, including five symphonies. His Fifth, finished in 1944 during the horrors of World War II, is nonetheless a work filled with hope, even joy. Ropartz had lost his wife and many friends, and turned to music, the countryside, and his religion for comfort. Technically, the process of simplification started in his Second Symphony--and which led his friend Paul Dukas to claim he'd given in to the younger, less intelligent youth of his day--is completed in this work. At times, it comes close ot the Neo-Classicism of Albert Roussel, which is unusual thing for a composer of 80 years of age. The performance is only moderate, but the work is attractive, and deserves to be heard.
