Pascal Amoyel

Barely back from La Folle Journée in Japan, Pascal Amoyel heads for Bretagne, his Looking for Beethoven show under his arm. See you all Friday, May 10th at 8:30pm at the Espace culturel de la Vigie in La Trinité/Mer (France).

Pascal Amoyel leads a thrilling investigation and decodes the absolute masterpiece of the piano, the 32 Sonatas, a veritable diary of a lifetime. Performed by an internationally acclaimed pianist, winner of a Victoire de la Musique award, this show reveals the secret face of the man himself. Or how, when life denied him joy, Beethoven himself created it in his music, to give it as a gift to humanity... Will you hear Beethoven the same way? Great music for all!

Pascal Amoyel is once again the guest of La Folle Journée du Japon, this time with his show Le jour où j'ai rencontré Franz Liszt for 2 performances this week in Tokyo:
It is often said that the life of Franz Liszt is like a novel... That's probably a far cry from his extraordinary destiny! He was history's first great "star", a virtuoso adored throughout Europe, the inventor of the recital, a seducer of a thousand conquests and a fervent believer, but he was also the most visionary composer of his time, still largely unknown today. At the height of his fame, at the age of 35, he surprised the world with a decision that turned his life upside down...

With music by BACH, MOZART, BEETHOVEN, CHOPIN, SCHUMANN, LISZT etc., Pascal Amoyel invites us to meet "his" Franz Liszt, aged 7 at the time, living in a small town in Hungary, with the wonder of a child's eyes... The audience travels alongside them in a unique show combining music, theater and... magic. A musical creation of rare intensity!
