LES MAÎTRES DE L’INTIME
-the timeless-piano-project-On five different instruments that could not have been more contrasting, Pierre-Laurent Aimard presented his concert LES MAÎTRES DE L'INTIME (‘The Masters of Intimacy’) at the Cité de la Musique in Paris.
An upright piano on the balcony on the left, one in the parquet; on the stage, the Op. 353018, a disc piano and a celesta: companions and pioneers of a musical dream's journey
In a fantastic composition of short, mostly delicate pieces of music from different eras, deeply touching sounds and their own spatiality, the audience was able to experience and marvel at:
Two upright pianos, a celesta and a Disklavier, which, as if by magic, combined pieces by Schubert, Kurtág, Schönberg, Webern and Mozart, preparing the pianists' paths between the instruments and accompanying him; and at the centre of this musical dream journey was the Op. 353018.
A lighthouse that connected music and its time, the artist and his audience with a beam of sound: Op.353018
Like a lighthouse that connected music and its time, the artist and his audience with a beam of sound. Its tone was as clear and bright as it was warm and gracious. As if there were no before and no after, but only this one, irretrievable moment in which everything that ever was and ever will be comes together. Dreamlike!
For the first time in Paris: op. 353018 is gently lifted onto the stage of the Cité de la Musique.
