Vienna: Joyful Apocalypse
Description
Between joie de vivre and tragedy, French pianist Aurélien Pontier depicts the final years of Imperial Vienna in a musical journey where the most emblematic figures of this mythical city cross paths, from Johann Strauss to Mahler. Through the waltz, Vienna made the world dance on a volcano, that of a radiant and self-destructive Europe. "A true musical metaphor for the suicide of Europe that was the Great War, both apotheosis and apocalypse. One also hears evocations of Schubert, Liszt, Mahler and Kreisler, all imbued with a nostalgia that belongs only to this mythical city." --- Aurélien Pontier ---.Buy Vienna: Joyful Apocalypse at the best price
