Info zu Échos: Chopin, Granados & Albéniz

Charles Richard-Hamelin setzt seine Reihe mit Werken von Chopin fort und kombiniert sie mit seltenen spanischen Werken, die um die Jahrhundertwende zum 19. Jahrhundert entstanden. Frédéric Chopin, Isaac Albéniz und Enrique Granados waren allesamt virtuose Pianisten, deren Musik von reicher Melodie, raffinierter Harmonie und Fantasie geprägt ist. Die Stücke dieses Programms verweben Poesie und Tanz mit bekannten und geheimnisvollen Melodien.
