Description:
The 100th anniversary of Sanson-François's birth: the first authorized recording of his November 1968 recital at Salle Pleyel, featuring Scriabin, Liszt, and Ravel! Sanson-François (1924-1970) celebrated the 100th anniversary of his birth this year (2024). To commemorate this occasion, Spectrum Sound is releasing the official first-ever recording of his recital. The recital at Salle Pleyel on November 18, 1968, from the archives of the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (INA), is now available for the first time. This reissue was made possible with the full cooperation of François' grandson, Claudie François. François was a famous pianist who died of a heart attack on October 22, 1970, at the age of 46.Although this performance was given about two years before his death, it is hard to believe that François was in his mid-40s, as his range of expression has broadened and his playing has become more beautiful and polished, and he has matured to an extent that one would not expect him to be in his mid-40s. The recorded works are by Scriabin, Liszt, and Ravel, all of which were François' favorites, but François, who played with a unique narrative style, showed more in the live performance than in the session, and his fragrant performance can be heard in this recital. The encore performance of "Scarbo" was also a masterpiece. Even 50 years after his death, François's art has not faded away. This release is a fitting tribute to the 100th anniversary of his birth. Japanese commentary is not included. King International
