Studies in Majesty

 

The études by Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and Thierry Escaich, beyond their educational purpose, stand out as true poems for the piano. Technique becomes a medium in the service of music.

From Chopin’s inner song to Liszt’s transcendence, from the lyricism of Rachmaninov and Scriabine to the modernity of Thierry Escaich, this programme is a journey through the evolution of virtuoso piano composition. From the Romantic era to the present day, each composer unfolds a unique, intense and dramatic world, transforming technical challenges into masterpieces in their own right.

An original and majestic programme, showcasing the grand piano!
