After the Second Piano Concerto (Alpha 395), Nelson Goerner presents here his first solo Brahms recital with the Sonata op.5, a youthful composition that is ‘impetuous, full of ardour and vitality’, says Goerner, ‘but which requires an interpreter who has reached maturity in his or her development to express all that it contains’.
In fact, the Argentinian pianist has had this sonata in his repertory since the start of his career and has played it extensively in concert. Many composers have taken an interest in Paganini and written variations on his famous theme: Liszt before Brahms, and Rachmaninoff and Lutosławski after him. ‘ Brahms displays exuberant invention in his Variations, which are at once highly virtuosic and very profound, and above all overflowing with imagination. Brahms gives the name “Études” to these variations which, like the études of Chopin and Liszt, go far beyond the superficially off-putting nature of the title’, concludes the pianist. ‘It’s a marvel of inventiveness!’

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Willie Nelson Un monument national. Un mythe. Sur sa terre d’Amérique, Willie Nelson est considéré de la sorte. Une icône dépassant le strict cadre de la country music dont il changea la face durant les années 60 et 70. Quand un certain Miles Davis compose un morceau qu’il baptise de votre nom, on peut parler de consécration, non ?Plus de huit décennies passées sur terre et le grand songwriter à la voix de canard, vieux barbu fumant pétard sur pétard, a été canonisé avant même de caner… C’est pourtant dans l’ombre que Willie Nelson fera ses armes, plume en main, pour servir la voix des autres. Pour Ray Price (Night Life), Patsy Cline (Crazy), Faron Young (Hello Walls), Billy Walker (Funny How Time Slips Away) et quelques légions d’autres, le Texan a composé des merveilles devenues des classiques du patrimoine nord-américain.
