All That Surrounds Us - Antoine Preat - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

An unusual and delightful tribute to French music. A young, cosmopolitan and distinguished pianist, at the same time French, Belgian and British, Antoine Préat proclaims, in this first album for naïve, his lifelong attachment to French keyboard music. But rather than being confined by his instrument, or more broadly by his love of keyboards, Antoine Préat actually takes us into a saga; thereby putting an element of mystery into his retrospective. Antoine Préat was born in Paris in 1997, and studied French music since his adolescence. His mastery of the modern piano is enriched through a long and fruitful experience with the harpsichord. From these influences emerges today a delicate and clear playing, with neat and fluid articulations. His sensitive style beautifully serves the most introspective moments, such as Les Triolets or L’Enharmonique by Rameau, Kaddish taken from Ravel’s Two Hebrew Songs, Cloches à travers les feuilles by Debussy or the allusive lines imagined by Beffa.
