Schubert/Liszt

Pour se jouer 840 fois de suite ce motif, il sera bon de se préparer au préalable, et dans le plus grand silence, par des immobilités sérieuses.

Vexations

“This recording was done in a single take. Nothing in it has been edited or cut. I can’t imagine the piece any other way, nor would it feel honest. Either you subject yourself to this ordeal, or you don’t do it at all.

 

This naturally results in background noises like breathing, groaning, or even the occasional helicopter: everything becomes part of the performance, nothing is smoothed over. It just occurred to me: this makes it my first, and somehow very special, solo live recording. Wonderful!”
