Obra: Dumka - Russian rustic scene in C minor for piano, Op.59

L'une a réuni Johann Sebastian Bach, Philip Glass et Arvo Pärt dans un récital liquide ; l'autre a joué Chopin, Tchaïkovski et Islamey de Balakirev avec une virtuosité qui a tout emporté sur son passage.

This is no Liederabend with singers taking their turn to file up to the piano. It’s a fully staged drama in which baritone Vladislav Sulimsky’s character reflects on his past loves and losses.

The young Japanese pianist Mao Fujita offered an intriguingly diverse recital program, highlighted by a rarely-heard – and marvelously difficult – work by Alkan.
