François Dompierre: Concertango Grosso

ATMA Classique proudly presents the world premiere recording of Concertango grosso performed by pianist Louise Bessette, who commissioned the work from Québécois composer François Dompierre. This all-Dompierre recording features the participation of several of Bessette’s esteemed musical colleagues.

Dompierre’s Les diableries is featured in a new arrangement for piano, violin, and string orchestra, with the special participation of violinist Kerson Leong. Bessette also performs Dompierre’s Concerto de Saint-Irénée, commissioned by the late Françoys Bernier, founder of Domaine Forget Festival.
