Prelude, Op. 45: No. 10 in C-Sharp Minor, Sostenuto by Frederic Chopin

Another wide-ranging melody, but more than wistful, also aching. An underlying sense of sarabande

Borrowed Time (instrumental)

01 - Fountain of Life

Redoutable défi, pour un pianiste, que l’enregistrement des Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, chef-d’œuvre suprême de Franz Liszt, si grand est le nombre de légendaires interprétations habitant toutes les mémoires. 

Pourtant ici, à l’écoute des onze tableaux formant l’illustre fresque sonore du maître hongrois, l’auditeur est saisi par la rigueur idiomatique et l’exigence stylistique manifestées par Pascal Amoyel. De ce brillant musicien, la plus belle qualité demeure probablement l’aisance souveraine à marier les contraires : clarté du discours et subtilité des nuances, variété des couleurs et rigueur rythmique. Doublant la prouesse digitale d’une impeccable et sensible restitution des inflexions spirituelles qui animent cette partition étonnamment lyrique, Pascal, prouve en l’occasion que la perfection technique reste avant tout un merveilleux gage de liberté.

Photo: Ernö Rapee (1891 -1945)  was Hungarian-born American symphonic conductor in the first half of the 20th Century whose prolific career spanned both classical and popular music. His most famous tenure was as the head conductor of the Radio City Symphony Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the Radio City Music Hall, whose music was also heard by millions over the air.
A virtuoso pianist, Rapée is also remembered for popular songs that he wrote in the late 1920s as photoplay music for silent films. When not conducting live orchestras, he supervised film scores for sound pictures, compiling a substantial list of films on which he worked as composer, arranger or musical director.
