En 1958, A. Rubinstein a 70 ans et ce qu’il a perdu en vigueur, il l’a gagné en sereine lumière. Son jeu est à la fois ancré et inintrusif, fluide sans démonstration.

Le jeu de Szeryng est merveilleusement complémentaire geste pur & articulé, legato chantant.

“Viaje Interior” is both a musical and mystical journey, tracing a path through pieces drawn from Andalusian Sufism.

The thoughtful distribution of instrumental timbres lends a rhetorical dimension to this album.

« Voyage intérieur » est un itinéraire, à fois musical et mystique, le long de pièces issues du soufisme andalous.

La répartition raisonnée des timbres instrumentaux confère une dimension rhétorique à cet album.

An unlikely program in which John Dowland encounters: Trent Renor, rock, U2, electronic music, Neil Young, folk, Lana Del Rey, rediscovers the original lute, Björk.
