Between Two Worlds - Yannick Van De Velde - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Two rare and intriguing transcriptions along two original masterworks. A closer look on two influences on Franck's late style: the Austro-German tradition and the tradition of France, where he lived most of his life. A closer look on Franck's revolutionary influence on French music, which has too often been dismissed.

It was not until 1884, and the publication of the Prelude, Choral & Fugue, that César Franck would truly begin to develop his personal voice – innovative and ground-breaking whilst at the same time reverent to the greats of the past, and displaying a spirituality both introverted and extroverted within which one can find many parallels with the late works of Beethoven. And in a century of piano music dominated by such German masters as Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, this work can be arguably titled the most important addition to the French piano literature since the time of Rameau.
