Details: Artistic Ambassador to the Lanaudière Festival, pianist and composer Alain Lefèvre has played on the most prestigious stages in forty countries. For his new album, he tackles an important work in Frederic Chopin's repertoire and he offers what is most probably his best performance ever on record. Each of Chopin's 24 preludes demands a high level of concentration from the pianist and Lefèvre rises to the challenge brilliantly. The album finishes with Soler's Sonata in D-minor No. 24. Soler's treatment of form and material indicates that the sonatas were born, as their internal drama suggests, of a need for powerful and intimate expression. Virtuosity and emotion! Artistic ambassador of the Festival de Lanaudière, pianist and composer Alain Lefèvre has performed on the most prestigious stages in some forty countries. For his new album, he offers himself an essential work in the repertoire of Frédéric Chopin and gives what is very probably his best performance ever on record. Each of Chopin's 24 preludes leaves no respite and requires great concentration on the part of the performer and it is a challenge that Alain Lefèvre takes up here brilliantly. The album ends with Sonata in D minor no. 24 of Soler. Soler's handling of form and material suggests that the sonatas were born, as their internal drama suggests, out of an intense yet profound expressive need. Virtuosity and emotion!
