Belle Epoque - Joseph Moog - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Works by Alkan, Bonis, Bortkiewicz, Bowen, Chaminade, d'Indy, Godowsky, Leschetizky, Liszt, Petit, Poulenc, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Respighi, Rosenthal, Scharwenka & Sibelius The half-expressed regrets of the Ukrainian Sergei Bortkiewicz (1877-1952) rubbing shoulders with the twirling mischievousness of Papillons by Moriz Rosenthal (1862-1946). The subtle melancholy of Poulenc (Mélancolie, 1940) whips the veiled sadness of golden times (Vincent d’Indy, Nocturne, 1886), and the anxious velocity of Leschetizky, halfway between Chopin and Schumann, find a lighter counterpart in the aerial innocence of Cécile Chaminade. This programme is an invitation to escape into an enchanted dream world, embodied in the moments when Rachmaninoff reinvents Kreisler (Liebesfreud, Liebesleid).
