Charpentier : 72 études karnatiques pour piano Box Set

Description

Suggestive rhythms, conglomerates of primitive sounds, a language of sounds differentiating infinitely: these are the archaic wonders presented by pianist Michael Schäfer on his twelfth CD Un!erhört! from Genuin. Critics have applauded his discoveries and rediscoveries, through which he has opened new paths for his fellow musicians and listeners. He now renews this feat with the complete set of the 72 Carnatic Studies by Jacques Charpentier, a student and friend of Olivier Messiaen, who shared his enthusiasm for music from the Far East. A remarkable pianistic achievement to capture this universe for 88 keys, this combination of Vedic tradition of rāgas and modern Western music: a must-listen!
