Description:

From Franck to Dutilleux: A Journey Through the Genealogy of French Piano Music Franck's music speaks to us as if it were seeping into the depths of our hearts. The many "sound words" spun in a solemn and extremely dignified manner appeal to us so intensely that they sometimes pierce our hearts. The rooms of Ravel's mind, which are shyly hidden in the depths of his heart, with many doors placed there. When we carefully and cautiously open those doors and peek inside, we find the world of the Romanticist-Ravel. Those who see it once will be captivated by Ravel's charm. Dutilleux has a unique style that transports the listener inexorably to another dimension, from a world of intensely bright light and weightless space to a world that awakens primal energy like magma. We hope you will take a journey through the worlds of these three artists on this CD titled "Journey of Esprit.
