Colmar International Festival :Piano recital - Hyunji Kim: Mozart, Ravel, Debussy, Murail

" The largest classical music festival in Alsace "

Piano : Hyunji Kim It is around the theme of water that the young Korean pianist Hyunji Kim has decided to organise her programme. She thus echoes pages by Debussy (Ondine) and Ravel (whose first element of the Gaspard de la nuit triptych is another famous "Ondine"...). This exploration of the liquid element will begin with Mozart, whose Sonata in D major K. 311 is of such obvious fluidity, to end with a surprising page by Tristan Murail: the Mandragore, a plant that was supposed to grow at the foot of the gallows, and whose magical virtues find bewitching resonance in the music of the French composer...
