PIANO

Marius Dawn, Pianist, October/November 2017

[...] she sounds most at home in the dancing rhythms of Iberia, bringing a rhapsodic touch and fine sense of mischief to the irregular rhythms of Lavapiés. Her tone quality on a well-tuned Yamaha is beautifully graded in Debussy's Images [...] She is up against stiff competition in the alluring showstopper that is Alborada del gracioso, but she sensitively handles the gentler, more reflective numbers of Miroirs such as Oiseaux tristes and La Vallée des cloches. The concept is strong, and it's matched by some impressive execution on a finely recorded album.

Fanny Azzuro joins actress Brigitte Fossey for a concert-reading on the theme of The Night this saturday April 19th at 8pm in Lauzun (FR).

Night is one of the strongest themes of Romanticism. Indeed, this fascination with the night is linked to a love of mystery and dreams. At night, all unreal visions can take hold, and all the evils of the day can be forgotten. Musset's Nuits series is a case in point. Night can also be associated with a symbol of the decline of human life. In this case, twilight represents the last sighs of existence. This is what Victor Hugo describes in Soleils couchants. It's also this nostalgic beauty that Baudelaire brings to life in his poem Harmonie du soir. Many 19th-century composers were interested in the theme of night, notably Schumann with some of his Kinderszenen, Chopin and his Nocturnes, Clara Schumann with her Soirées musicales... A sparkling, touching nocturnal world.
