Tribute to Rachmaninov
With David Haroutunian, violin
This programme symbolises the complicity of Rachmaninoff-pianist with Viennese violinist Fritz Kreisler, the only chamber music partner with whom he has recorded. Among the works they have recorded is the iconic Grieg 3rd Sonata, which opens the concert, followed by unique pieces by Rachmaninoff, originally written for violin and piano. Chaikovsky's high-contrast pieces alone show Rachmaninoff's admiration for his elder. A tribute to Rachmaninoff cannot do without works from the piano repertoire, and the Schubert/Liszt Waltz-Caprice and the slow movement of his famous second concerto plunge us into the most dazzling of piano works, both in their brilliance and in the intimacy of the 'prayer' that Kreisler called his arrangement. Kreisler's miniatures inspired Rachmaninoff so much that he arranged them for solo piano and recorded them to leave his mark for eternity.

Le piano de Fanny Azzuro tourne et vole, franc et fluide, clair, précis et velouté. Leur rythme nous entraîne, les mélodies font rêver. Chaque morceau est un bijou, le programme entier un régal. On ne voit pas passer les presque deux heures de récital et le public en redemande. Un bonheur de soirée en l’honneur d’un génie qui inspire, encore et toujours, au clavier comme à l’archet.
