Poems For A Wishing Tree

Treasures in Spotify: Alice Ader plays Franck

gives us a new hearing rare but very satisfying. Alice Ader is a pianist hardly known outside of France, where itself is an accomplished artist. Notable for the restraint of his touch and sharpness of your typing, both classic features of the French school. Interpreter dour and sober but not mechanical, as seems to be the norm in their compatriots in recent years, her balance and rigor in the choice of tempi not result in linear phrasing. Subtle and exquisite are the adjectives that come to mind listening to this wonderful album dedicated to works by Cesar Franck . The chosen pieces for solo piano can admire its bright distinction of the different voices through intensities and colors of his palette of sounds (Variation Op 18, which is actually a transcript the author of a piece for organ). The drama lies in the recitation of the Prelude to the second score and the famous Coral comes from mysterious chords. Night whispers music, mystic and sensual, alternately grand and intimate without losing its deep coherence. It also pointed to the virtues, it is tempting to use the adjective idiomatic to praise the work of Auder. Along with these revisions Bach Prelude from the perspective of late Romanticism, a major work of Camera genre for piano and strings. The masterful Quintet exceptionally stormy for its author, together with pianist with Ensemble Auder . Again, balance between voices (something that can not be assumed in this type of scores) and intensity always controlled.

To finish, great sound. Seal is a record Fuga Libera.
