The Zebra Collection

Zig Zag Territoires is pleased to present the Zebra Collection - 10 of the label's most acclaimed and popular releases, beautifully presented and at an attractive mid-price.

The huge popularity of Zig-Zag Territoire's debut release "An Evening with the Jacquins" in 1997 was both a surprise and an indication that this was a label with a different approach. Featuring many overlooked gems and novelties by Mozart "An Evening with the Jacquins" has now become the centrepiece of the Zebra Collection.

Based in Paris, Zig-Zag Territoires has built up a catalogue of one hundred recordings in the course of a continuous and exciting dialogue with the artists who offered the gift of their talent and loyalty. The Zebra Collection is the perfect opportunity to become familiar with many of the key Zig-Zag artists and learn more about this exciting and dynamic label.

J. S. Bach

Cello Suites Pascal Monteilhet,
theorbe / theorbo
ZZT2020901

"Pascal Monteilhet takes listeners on an illuminating journey from introvert corridors to halls of splendor... reveals the dimensions of musical space and time that Bach must have dreamed of." Gramophone

"Un disque d'une infinie poesie et d'une delicatesse rare, que {'art raffine de Monteilhet rend indiscutable : la danse y entre comme en filigrane, soutenue par le vivant des tempi, la souplesse de jarret de la ligne et la maitrise gracieuse de la gestuelle ornementale."

J.S. BACH

Suite Francaise n°4 bWV 815
Toccata bWV 913
Suite Anglaise n°6 bWV 811
Blandine Rannou
clavecin / harpsichord
ZZT2020401

"... Bach Toccatas, all showing her mastery of keyboard colour and balance, painting their complex mosaics with a/I the refinement and depth of a musical old master. Those like me won over by Gould, Schiff and others playing Bach on a modern keyboard need to revisit the real thing in company like this to remind that it all began with Bach." Anthony Holden - The Observer

ENESCO

Sonate n°3,
impressions d'enfance

RAVEL

Tzigane Patrick Bismuth, violin
Anne Gaels, piano, lutheal
ZZT2010801

"Patrick Bismuth, is an outstanding violinist. The musicians reveal to us fragrances of unprecedented musical sensibility. From first bar to last of this Enesco recording, the listener's attention is unfailingly held." L. Barthel

"Rarement I'ceuvre d'Enesco aura si bien vibre selon sa fibre ethnique : mieux que du beau violon."Revue Musicale - Suisse Romande

JANACEK

Quartets n°l & 2 Quatuor Belcea
ZZT2010701
"The Belcea's engagement with both scores is beyond their fiercely demonstrative playing is fully justified in i Rob Cowan -Gramophone
"The Belcea Quartet was playing with such distinction that one could be forgiven one thinking that the group had decades of experience. In fact, it was the young Belcea Quartet: already musicians worth travelling from far." The Times

G.F. HAENDEL

Recorder Sonatas Jean-Pierre Nicolas
Ensemble Fitzwilliam
ZZT2030201

"...from beginning to end the performers are so committed to the music that one is convinced this is the only way to play this music., Diapason

W.A. MOZART

Une soiree chez les Jacquin Gilles Thome, clarinette, cor de basset
2cd
ZZT2990701.2
"Here are some real recording novelties and other gem, have to confess that, as a whole, I did quite enjoy these two discs, since the spirit of the music is generally happily caught, "Gramophone
"Quelle bonne, quelle delicieuse idee ! Le coloris prenant du cor de basset, des voix de filles exquises, la musique meme que Mozart louerait pour ses amis, et on se sent chez lui, on se sent de ses amis. II y a de quoi dire merci!" Le Point

J. HAYDN

Sonates Marcia Hadjimarkos, clavicorde
ZZT2990901

"This revelatory CD extends the scope of the clavicord beyond \my dreams... I cannot recommend this CD too highly and would commend it especially to any who are still wedded to the modern piano for 18th century keyboard music." Peter Grahame Woolf - Seen & Heard

A. RUBINSTEIN

Sonatas for cello and piano Anthony Leroy, cello
Sandra Moubarak, piano
ZZT2020402

"Charming and fluent music effectively played by a duo with a strong and sensitive feeling for the music." Gramophone
"Ce disque permet une importante devaluation de I'ceuvre d'Anton Rubinstein... Mais con flee a des musidens aussi talentueux, elle vibre de mille eclats." Repertoire

SCHUMANN

Works for viola, piano & clarinet Vinciane Beranger, viola
Anne-Lise Gastaldi, piano
Florent Heau, clarinet
ZZT2010401
"This is above all a celebration of the viola in Schumann's chamber pieces, with Vinciane Beranger is fresh, incisive and full-toned in all five works. "Gramophone.

W.A.MOZART

Symphonies 40 and 41 "Jupiter" Anima Eterna
Jos van Immerseel
ZZT2030501
"In his hands, the music lives and breathes as it must, even given some of these breakneck tempos. If you're looking for stylish period instrument Mozart, you can't go wrong here." Classics Today
"... These may not be everyone’s performances. But any that make someone who, like me, knows these symphonies considerably better than the back of his own hand, listen to the music afresh and hear new things in it, are versions to treasure." Gramophone.
