"The pianist sculpts silence within the flesh of the note. Her quest for meaning creates that rare feeling that music seems to know the interpreter better than she knows herself. The notes run free on the keyboard to reach the essence of music, which anyone can enjoy profoundly."
- Le Figaro
Anne Queffélec, unanimously considered as one of the most remarkable pianists of our time, enjoys international fame as well as an exceptional influence over musical life.
After graduating at the Paris Conservatoire, she studied in Vienna, where Paul Badura-Skoda, Jorg Demus and especially Alfred Brendel respectively became her teachers. The audiences of the world would soon discover the charm and musical smartness of this great performer when she successfully won the International competitions in Munich and in Leeds.
Few composers have quite such a strong connection to a single instrument as Liszt does to the piano. Behind Chopin, he's probably the most notable piano composer in history (although that's a hotly contested accolade), with all manner of concertos, etudes, sonatas and transcriptions to his name. Some of it's exciting, some of it uses Liszt's incredible virtuosity to full effect, and some of it is breathtakingly beautiful. Parlophone and Anne Queffélec present a fine selection here for newcomers to Liszt's piano music, along with the initiated.
