Description

Renowned for his interpretations of the works of Frédéric Chopin and Serge Rachmaninov, the great Argentine pianist Nelson Goerner joins the Zig-Zag Territoires label. His residency at Wigmore Hall in London during the 13/14 season places significant emphasis on Claude Debussy; he also dedicates his first album with Zig-Zag Territoires to him. "Of course, from the interpreter of these pieces - of all the pieces on this album - one expects mastery and sensitivity. But even more is required: gifts of color; an imagination for settings; a vision of layers, of space. And also, for these pages that are heirs to and a summary of such a glorious tradition, a broad knowledge, a culture of the piano repertoire. The interpreter of the Études stands at the culmination of a journey, that of the keyboard 'in black and white.' He must know everything, and almost play everything. Nelson Goerner is that interpreter." - Dominique Jameux
