Alexandre Tharaud (Steinway piano) 'I like to play the cycle of Preludes without interruption,
with the same tension, a certain underlying fear even in
the most serene preludes.' Two years after his CD
devoted to the Waltzes, Alexandre Tharaud returns to
Chopin, the composer he has played most often and who
has never failed to move him deeply. In addition to the
Preludes in A flat and Op.45 and the Trois nouvelles études,
he has provided the cycle with a more recent echo in
music by Federico Mompou. In their personality, their careers, their exclusive relationship with the piano, their
attention to sonority, and their inward melody, the two composers have much in common. “Conceiving the 24 Preludes as an uninterrupted whole, and complementing them with some all-too-rare Mompou miniatures, Alexandre Tharaud has recorded a breathtaking disc.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** |
