L’Appel du Cor / The Call of the Horn (Works for Horn and Piano) - Beyond Stereotypes.
The stereotype of the French is well known, it is a man with a beret on his head and a baguette under his arm. The stereotypical image of the horn is the hunting horn, the only vision that the general public has of an instrument that they hear nearly every day but that they know so little.

So why does horn player Hervé Joulain title his new CD "L’Appel du Cor" (The Call of the Horn), why go into the field of cliché? First of all, the hunting horn is part of the history of the horn and it does not deny it. Then composers made this past, these origins, a source of musical inspiration. Whether rustic, thunderous, or poetic, they have made the softened, the 'tayauté', also the 'débuché de la plaine' and the famous 'halali' the material of their musical writing for the modern horn.

Some of the pieces performed by Hervé Joulain could be wrongly described as minor works, specific to the 'conservatory end-of-year competitions'. Here the horn player's playing shows us that they are far from it and deserve to be played and listened to. Thus, from Busser to Bozza, from Pugno to Planel, Hervé Joulain's horn takes us on a journey among dreams and lullabies, legends and whims, right up to the feminine vision that composer Elsa Barraine has for the horn in her brass band.
The horn player Hervé Joulain and the pianist Fanny Azzuro interpret these works - some of which can be heard as premiere recordings - in a wonderfully musical way.
