Legendes

Pascal Amoyel invites the music of Debussy, Liszt and Schubert around legendary heroes.
A new recital that alternates reading and music and that transports us into the world of his poems declaimed to music - the melodramas - which were the high points of the romantic salons in the 19th century.
When the spell of the music is combined with the imaginative power of the story.

Press

Sylvain Fort, Diapason, Juin 2023

(...) D'abord parce que le programme est original et passionant, passant de Liszt à Schubert et Schumann au gré d'un choix cohérent. Ensuite, parce que Pascal Amoyel offre une interprétation profonde, ne cherchant jamais l'effet facile ni la théâtralité à bon compte, mais plutôt la continuité du récit, une sorte de pulsation intime, déroulant patiemment le fil de chaque mélodrame. Enfin, parce que Vincent Figuri est peut-être ce qu'il nous a été donné d'entendre de meilleur dans ce répertoire, toutes langues confondues.

Pascal Amoyel, piano

Label Salamandre, 2023

The world's first complete French-language melodramas by Listz, Schumann and Shubert.

The melodramas are among the most romantic works by Liszt and Schumann. An intimate union of music and literature, a reflection of the soul, they are also a challenge to the performers, who engage in a mirror dialogue. Pascal Amoyel and Vincent Figuri are the ideal duo to fuse these two arts.

Have you ever dreamed of attending a piano lesson given by Chopin?

By decoding the little-known method written by Chopin and the testimonies of his rare pupils, Pascal Amoyel, himself of Franco-Polish descent, brings him back to life in an imaginary and moving dialogue...

Following the success of his previous one-man shows (Le Pianiste aux 50 doigts, Le Jour où j'ai rencontré Franz Liszt and Looking for Beethoven) in Paris, the rest of France and abroad, this season Pascal Amoyel presents his latest musical, Une leçon de piano avec Chopin: an expert, passionate and sensitive reading of Chopin's First Ballade as a musical treasure imagined and performed by the man who in 2010 was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque in Warsaw by the prestigious Société Chopin for his complete Nocturnes. As a privileged witness to this intimate transmission from master to pupil, the audience is transported by the music and storytelling of the great pianist and Victoire de la Musique winner. A must-see nugget! Find out more
