He has assembled the programme as “a dramatic narrative, encompassing a celebration of Viennese joie de vivre and also the nostalgia that permeates Viennese literature and music of this period”.  \n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The programme of 14 solo pieces culminates in Ravel’s sumptuous, yet sinister masterpiece, La Valse , completed shortly after World War 1. Ravel had considered entitling it simply Wien, and Pontier sees it as “simultaneously an apotheosis and an apocalypse”. Preceding it are virtuoso arrangements of some of the ‘greatest hits’ of Johann Strauss (both father and son), of waltzes by the native Viennese Franz Schubert and by Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Godowsky, and arrangements by Rachmaninov – including his take on the lilting Liebesleid by the great Viennese violinist Fritz Kreisler. Marking the transition from Romanticism to Modernism are two towering composers closely linked with Vienna: Mahler (with the the sublime ‘Adagietto’ from his Symphony No 5, arranged by Pontier) and Schoenberg (the last of his six Klavierstücke op 19, a brief and enigmatic elegy for Mahler).  \n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prizewinning alumnus of Paris’s Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique, Aurélien Pontier been praised by Diapason magazine for his “command of the keyboard, clear, dense sonorities and integrity of approach”. With Vienna, Joyful Apocalypse he evokes an age of both gold and shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Tracklist\u003C\u002Fh4>\u003Col>\u003Cli>Alfred Grunfeld : Soiree De Vienne, Op. 56\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Leopold Godowsky: Triakontameron: No. 11, Alt Wien\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Otto Schulhoff: 3 Bearbeitungen Nach Motiven von Johann Strauss, Op. 9: No. 2, Pizzicato- Polka\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Sergei Rachmaninoff: Polka De W.R.
