About this product
The programme of Maurice Clement's album Confluences represents 'a process of merger' in which works by a number of composers are contrasted with one another. Taking a transcription of the Prelude from Tristan (in a concert version arranged by the composer) as point of departure, the pieces illustrate the influence of Wagner on German and French composers from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth. This musical concept also goes to justify the particular choice of instrument, since the organ used for the recording is well suited to both the 'Germanic' world and the more hedonistic French spirit. The interpretations (which take into account historical, analytical and aesthetic considerations) therefore also benefit from the hybrid nature of this instrument built by Dalstein & Haerpfer and reconstructed by Manufacture d'Orgues Thomas, it represents a successful synthesis of the two sound worlds. It is therefore able to do equal justice to both Liszt and Franck, and to create a coherent and captivating symphonic context for the chosen transcriptions.

Internationally renowned soloist Lucille Chung performs a programme of virtuosic and beguiling works by Franz Liszt. One of the first female students of the iconic Russian pianist Lazar Berman at the Accademia Pianistica in Imola, Italy, Chung has won numerous awards for her performances of Liszt's music, including the B minor Sonata that features on this programme - although Lucille describes in her introduction to the programme how Berman Inch... for a time doubted that a diminutive lady with hands spanning a 9th (although I can now stretch a 10th on a good day) would ever succeed in playing Liszt well... Mr Berman came around.Inch Renowned for her Inchblazing gutsy performance[s]Inch (The Washington Post), Lucille Chung has been acclaimed for her Inchstylish and refined performancesInch by Gramophone magazine, Inchcombining vigour and suppleness with natural eloquence and eleganceInch (Le Soir).

With his Genuin debut album, the Romanian pianist Mihai Ritivoiu takes us into other spheres InchTranscendenceInch is the name of the production that unites works by Franck, Enescu, and Liszt. The prizewinner of numerous competitions (including the Dinu Lipatti and George Enescu competitions) avoids thunderous pounding and superficial tinkling on the keys. From the first notes of Franck's Prelude to the mystical floating away at the end of Liszt's great sonata, the young musician draws us into his musical spell with a differentiated attack and staying power. Particularly noteworthy George Enescu's expressive, first piano sonata - a real repertoire highlight! Ritivoiu writes of the album InchIn choosing the repertoire for my first recording, I found myself drawn to three works which, albeit different, all transcend the boundaries of merely pianistic music, whether it is the quasi-organ sounds and bell chimes of Cesar Franck's Prelude Choral et Fugue or the orchestral sonorities of the Liszt and Enescu sonatas.Inch
