NEW RELEASE Chopin, exiled from Poland, spent most of his life in Paris, where his piano writing proved a profound influence on the next generations of French composers. Pascal Rogé, one of today’s best-loved French pianists, links the worlds of Chopin, Debussy, Fauré, Ravel and Poulenc in an original and enchanting programme. 'Rogé still plays with that clarity of texture and sense of momentum within stasis that Debussy surely intended' (The Times).
"It is a rare occasion and a great pleasure to be a part of the Festival de l'Ile de France next September, and especially an honour to share the stage with an actor whom I have admired for many years, Jean-Pierre Marielle. His astonishing and truly moving performance as Monsieur de Sainte Colombe in Tous les Matins du Monde is quite unforgettable. it is a must-see for all who appreciate the beauty of baroque music.I invite all the music and literature lovers to join me for this special concert on September 19th in the beautiful Abbaye des Vaux de Cernais"
