Abracadabra

Description

Her intense engagement with Liszt’s work has nourished her sense of storytelling and her gifts as a colorist. Beatrice Berrut knows how to make her piano a true orchestra, shape sonic matter, create atmospheres of profound poetry, and transport us into a dreamlike world. For the musician, who grew up surrounded by nature, has managed to keep her childlike soul and develop an imagination populated by fantastical characters straight out of fairy tales, whose codes she nevertheless does not hesitate to upend. Mastering the art of transcription and composition, she tells them to us in her own way, between voluptuousness, shivers, and disorder. The magic of fairy tales blends with that of dreams in this program, at times flamboyant and poetic. It alternates the most shimmering colors with the softest hues, and if it begins with great ballet repertoire, it ends with the well-known pieces from cinema classics such as Merlin the Enchanter and Harry Potter.
