Mozart: Fantasy - Ismaël Margain - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

After a sumptuous recital which brought together impromptus by Frédéric Chopin and Gabriel Fauré (Impromptus, naïve, V7860), the pianist Ismaël Margain continues his musical explorations in the realm of the small form, this time the rondo and the fantasy. And for this new journey, as poetic as it is inventive, he returns to one of his favourite composers: Mozart, whose inexhaustible and singular power he glorifies with the immense refinement of his playing. Beyond the constantly renewed melodic inventiveness, all the works on this album form a fascinating kaleidoscope of Mozartian moods. If the Rondos, strongly characterised, reveal relatively homogeneous atmospheres, the Fantasias, notably K. 397 and K. 475, offer a kaleidoscope of ever-shifting moods and atmospheres, conferring them a definitely theatrical tone. In these quasi-improvisations, many characters come to life. The opera, the stage, permeate the discourse everywhere.
