After the release of the complete collection on Amazon Music, which garnered more than 1 million streams on the 'Dance of Blessed Spirits' by Gluck, Warner Classic is releasing this repertoire track-by-track on all other streaming platforms, as it's the perfect repertoire for streaming!
A panorama of the great piano repertoire through its most emblematic composers: in this collection, narrative works such as Chopin’s Valses come together with intimate pieces by Schubert, Schumann, and Grieg, as well as the powerful sounds of Liszt and Rachmaninov, all beneath the fingers of Aurélien Pontier. Paul Neda joins for an exploration of minimalist music through well-known themes by Max Richter and Michael Nyman, which invite the listener into two distinct moments of introspection. The Heart Asks Pleasure First (Michael Nyman), the main theme of the film The Piano, combines feelings of romance with passion for this very instrument, while the darker Wladimir blues (Max Richter) invites us to ponder the violence that surrounds us. This program is truly a celebration of the piano in all its many facets!
