Description:
A wonderful project for the 150th anniversary of the birth in 2021 and the 100th anniversary of his death in 2022 of the French writer Marcel Proust (1871-1922), known for his great work "In Search of Lost Time. He was a great admirer of Beethoven, Schumann, and other composers of his time, including Fauré and Debussy, who were also strong inspirations for him. The works on this album are by composers he loved, including a rare "Piano Concerto" by Reinaldo Ahn and the recently discovered "Notturno" by Richard Strauss, which includes one of his "Four Emotional Landscapes" (first performed by Shani DiLuca), This is a must for piano music lovers. Shani DiLuca, who plays the piano, was born in Sri Lanka and raised in Monaco. She was discovered and educated by Queen Grace of Monaco, and is a well-known pianist in Japan, having frequently visited Japan for the "La Folle Journée Music Festival".In the past, the group has released albums with unique concepts, such as combining Indian philosophy and Beethoven, but here they bring out the charm of the works with even deeper tones and narrative. The fictional "Venteuil Sonata" that Proust pursued in "In Search of Lost Time" is not a Saint-Saëns violin sonata as is often claimed, but a combination of works by Arn, Ysaÿe, and Chaminade, which opens up a new interpretation. The violinist here is Pierre Fouchenré, born in 1985. The melody he spins out is the very "shimmering light-purple waves" that Proust described. In the piano concerto by Arn, Hervé Nicquet, a famous conductor who has devoted himself to the exploration of French secret music, not only takes the baton, but Nathalie Desay also sings a song impressively, making this album an album that you cannot take your eyes off the performers.
