Description
As part of the Festival Radio France Occitanie Montpellier
Bertrand Chamayou is a familiar face at the Montpellier Festival.
After Liszt's Années de pèlerinage and a complete Ravel cycle, here he offers us an extraordinary recital, anchored by Mendelssohn's Romances sans paroles and Schubert's Wanderer-Fantaisie.
Brief pages from the former, a one-piece monument from the latter, plus a few winks: other romances by Fauré and Clara Schumann, a few pages of German Romanticism transcribed by the indefatigable Liszt, a parodic romance by Charles Ives, and even the Beatles lullaby Golden Slumbers, from the Abbey Road album, here arranged by Takemitsu. Crumb and Kurtág, between irony and false simplicity, slip into the tightly woven fabric of this recital.
