27/10/2021
This year's recital promises to be special, as Jonathan Fournel achieved his victory without an audience in the concert hall. A great opportunity for loyal fans of the Queen Elisabeth Competition to hear this excellent young pianist perform live at last !
From his first recording, freshly released on the Alpha label, he will play Brahms' 3rd Piano Sonata.
On the programme :
Johann Sebastian Bach
Largo (Sonata for Organ no. 5, BWV 529 - arr. Samuil Feinberg)
Frédéric Chopin
Nocturne, op. 62/1
Andante spianato et Grande polonaise brillante, op. 22
Johannes Brahms
Piano Sonata no. 3, op. 5
«A natural, musical and poetic playing in Mozart’s 18th concerto performed with majestic purity and lyricism as well as Brahms’ Variations and Fugue on a theme by Haendel led with intensity and an unquestionable sense of story-telling. » Marie-Aude Roux writes in Le Monde.
