“For my first disc I wanted to show some of the earliest pieces for keyboard in the repertoire and some of the most recent – then you can develop your own keyboard repertoire history in mind. Plus, I’d say that with both Bach and Boulez, it is pure music, in that it doesn’t depend on the character of the instrument that it was composed on.” David Fray interviewed in BBC Music Magazine, 02/07 “Fray's debut is marked by an imaginative collation, Bach and Boulez, played with vibrant imagination. He pushes the boundaries but resists the merely quirky. Impeccable technique allows him to speak from the heart with deceptive ease.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 “…Fray's gorgeous tone and ravishingly shaded trills cast an intimate, poetic spell that's hard to resist, especially within the French Suite's more modest dimensions. Fray matches Pierre-Laurent Aimard for character and precision in Boulez's Notations, yet goes his own way.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2007 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
