Coincidentia Oppositorum

Description

With this new program recorded for Artalinna in Metz in April 2023, Aline Piboule continues her original musical journeys by pairing two unexpected composers, both genius pianists, Franz Liszt (1811-1886) and Olivier Greif (1950-2000), who each undertook a powerful mystical journey during their lives. From the two, she brings together two works that are as beautiful as they are complementary. From Liszt, the Ballade No. 2, sublimated later by Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude, drawn from poetic and religious harmonies. From Greif, two Sonatas, among his most beautiful works, Three Poems of Li T’ai Po (1977) and Codex Domini (1994), both played in the critical edition prepared by Anne-Élise Thouvenin. Two pages by Bach open and close this recital, filled with grand and intense emotions.
