With a nod to the prelude and variation forms—a fondness for which Beethoven and Chopin share with Fauré—fellow pianist and composer Lucas Debargue gathers this trio of keyboard geniuses in a programme boasting two major sonatas as its main act.
The suppleness of Elsa Dreisig's voice, matched by the art of sign singing, works wonders in this program devoted to French melody. Fauré's Amours du Poète rub shoulders with the alchemies of Ravel whose Quartet we can also enjoy.
French violinist and conductor Renaud Capuçon likes to encourage musical encounters and mix generations. With Paul Zientara, Julia Hagen and Guillaume Bellom, he shares Fauré and two rarely performed gems from post-Romantic repertoire.
In honour of the 150th anniversary of the death of Bizet—who perished at just 36, never knowing the enormous success that awaited Carmen—Adèle Charvet and Florian Caroubi perform a selection of the composer’s melodies.
Lang Lang makes a bold return, with a programme demanding nothing less than his full powers—from the grace of Fauré, to the moody visions of Schumann, to the alternately delicate and vigorous sensibility of Chopin.
Rising trumpet star Matilda Lloyd presents a delightful panorama of works and transcriptions—featuring Debussy, Fauré and Ibert alongside the likes of Bozza, one of the most prolific composers for of music for wind instruments.
The Pygmalion choir and orchestra, and its conductor Raphaël Pichon, like to juxtapose contrasting works while reviving the spirit in which they were created. They are joined here by two faithful accomplices, Sabine Devieilhe and Stéphane Degout.
