Bringing this long-neglected work to life has been a rewarding undertaking, involving extensive engagement with the composer’s handwritten score and the preparation of
a new modern performing edition. This process required close study of de Hartmann’s orchestral writing and stylistic language.
Esther is a distinctive work that bridges opera and oratorio, its dramatic momentum shaped through extended monologues, choral commentary, and a triumphant final ensemble. Richly orchestrated, it reflects the full breadth of de Hartmann’s artistic development—from his early training in Saint Petersburg and the influence of Rimsky-Korsakov, Arensky, and Taneyev, to later creative periods in Munich and France, and his search for a deeply personal musical language. Esther, the composer’s largest and most ambitious later work, stands as a summation of his eclectic, polystylistic approach and a compelling rediscovery for today’s performers and listeners.
This album marks the next chapter of the Thomas de Hartmann Project, bringing the composer’s music back to the listening audience.
