Summary of This Score

With "Souvenir russe op. 60 / Papillon op. 30," Ernesto Köhler (1849-1907) offers two emblematic pages of salon music: a seductive, immediately lyrical writing that highlights the sense of line and the finesse of detail. An Italian flutist settled in Saint Petersburg, Köhler held a position at the Imperial Ballet from 1871, before being appointed in 1900 as principal flutist of the Imperial Opera, one of the most prestigious roles in the Tsarist realm. This stimulating artistic environment allowed him to devote himself more to composition, with a marked taste for brilliant and expressive pieces.
"Souvenir russe op. 60" evokes an inspired color and atmosphere, perfect for developing musicality: work on dynamics, breathing, management of tension and release, without ever losing the thread of the melody. This piece is particularly suitable for those seeking a Romantic repertoire that is both accessible and rewarding, where the performer can refine style and musical storytelling.
"Papillon op. 30 No. 4," a true character piece, illustrates the light and virtuosic spirit of the genre: fast passages, precise articulation, and rhythmic vivacity. Its success was such that it was recorded as early as 1910 in New York for the Victor Talking Machine Company, proof of its lasting popularity. This collection thus constitutes a relevant choice to enrich a concert program, vary the atmosphere during an audition, or simply add a brilliant piece with immediate charm to one's music stand.
