Mémoire

Description

An essential ambassador of French piano, Alexandre Tharaud has spent his career redefining its tradition. Following the resounding successes of Versailles and his landmark albums dedicated to Ravel and Satie, this new project presents itself as the ultimate synthesis of his musical journey. Spanning four centuries of music, from Baroque to modernity, the album brings together the great pillars of the repertoire with delicate transcriptions and evocative character pieces by Couperin, Fauré, Debussy, Massenet, and the Group of Six. Alexandre Tharaud showcases a playing style of clear and incisive clarity, illuminating each piece with a new and profoundly unique light.
