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 indicate that the sonatas were born, as their internal drama suggests, of a need for powerful and intimate expression. Virtuosity and emotion! Ambassadeur artistique du Festival de Lanaudière, le pianiste et compositeur Alain Lefèvre a joué sur les scènes les plus prestigieuses dans une quarantaine de pays. Pour son nouvel album, il s’offre une oeuvre incontournable dans le répertoire de Frédéric Chopin et donne ce qui est fort probablement sa meilleure performance à vie sur disque. Chacun des 24 préludes de Chopin, ne laisse aucun répit et exige une grande concentration de la part de l’interprète et c’est un défi qu’Alain Lefèvre relève ici brillamment. L’album se termine par la Sonate en ré mineur no. 24 de Soler. La façon dont Soler manie la forme et le matériau laisse entrevoir que les sonates sont nées, comme leur drame interne le suggère, d'un besoin expressif à la fois intense et profond. Virtuosité et émotion! Selections: Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) 1. – 24. 24 Préludes Padre Antonio Soler (1729 – 1783) 25. Sonate en ré mineur no. 24 - Andantino cantabile
