Tailleferre G. - Romance [1913] (piano)

A shimmering, ethereal composition that dances through crystalline frequencies with remarkable clarity and brightness. The track's treble-heavy sonic palette creates an almost weightless atmosphere, building momentum at a driving 163 BPM while maintaining an airy, transcendent quality that sparkles like light refracting through glass.

Welcome to Archie Chen's magical nocturnal voyage with Grieg's "Notturno," Op. 54, No. 4 – a gem from the Lyric Pieces that'll whisk you away to a mystical realm of serenity and enchantment! 🌙✨

Inspired by Grieg's rejuvenating trip to the Jotunheimen Mountains and his encounter with the lovely Gjendine Slålien, this "Notturno" showcases the composer's finest expressive and fresh elements. In fact, Grieg himself couldn't resist playing it in multiple concerts! 🎹🏔️

Get ready to be immersed in a twilight dreamscape, painted with shimmering extended chords and captivating harmonic shifts. Feel the gentle chill of autumn and the warmth of tender memories as Archie Chen's performance brings this piece to life. 🍂🔥

A precursor to the likes of Debussy and Ravel, Grieg's "Notturno" whispers a blend of post-Romantic and nationalist tones that resonate through time – so much so that you might even recognize it from popular TV shows and commercials! 📺🎶

So, sit back, relax, and let Archie Chen guide you through this enchanting musical world where the wonders of the past and present intertwine. It's an experience you'll cherish forever – or, as Grieg might have said, "en opplevelse for livet!" 🌌💫

This is a studio recording made for RTE's Arena broadcast on July 20th 2017.
