Imogen Cooper

Descripción

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO Die Anspielung auf Marcel Prousts berühmten Roman im CD-Titel bezieht sich auf den Umstand, dass Imogen Cooper alle Stücke ihres CHANDOS-Albums während ihrer Studienjahre als Teenager in Paris bzw. als Zwanzigjährige gemeinsam mit Alfred Brendel in Wien einstudiert hat. Nach Jahren des Abstands und der künstlerischen Reifung erscheint dies tatsächlich fast wie eine Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit. Borrowing from the title of Proust’s great novel, the latest recital by Imogen Cooper features a collection of pieces that she learnt as a teenager in Paris, or in her twenties working with Alfred Brendel in Vienna, but none of which she has performed on the concert platform, or really played at all in the intervening years. Cooper studied in Paris from 1961 to 1967 with Jacques Février (who had known Ravel well), Yvonne Lefébure (who had known Alfred Cortot), and Germaine Mounier. She started to wonder about the messages from her teachers she would find on her scores, and about the nature of memory. She was also interested to see if the repertoire she has acquired since she learnt these pieces would change her view, or shed new light on them. This highly personal recital is an exemplar of Imogen Cooper’s outstanding pianism and musicianship.
