Description
A candlelit piano recital dedicated to the XIXᵉ century and the Impromptus of Schubert and Chopin. Piano recital by candlelight - Schubert, Chopin, candles and surprises from the conductor! Les Rencontres Musicales de Champéry offer a piano recital devoted to the XIXᵉ century, lit by candlelight. At this time of night, their soft light creates a warm, intimate atmosphere, evoking the spirit of salons and romantic concerts. The program brings together Franz Schubert's Impromptus D 899 and Frédéric Chopin's four Impromptus, two major figures of 19thᵉ century piano. These works, free in form and deeply expressive, invite sensitive listening, as close as possible to poetry and emotion. To these emblematic pages are added a few surprises, chosen by the performer, in the tradition of concerts of the time, when the unexpected was an integral part of the evening. A candlelit recital, characterized by closeness, simplicity and the pleasure of listening. Musician : - Jean-Baptiste Doulcet, piano Programme : - Franz Schubert – Impromptus, D. 899 - Frédéric Chopin – Four Impromptus (Op. 29, 36, 51, and 66) Pratical Information More information on rencontres-musicales.ch
