Ernesto Lecuona

As one of Cuba's greatest Latin and Afro-Cuban jazz pianists and long an important bandleader, Jesús Chucho Valdés has earned international renown and a devoted audience of jazz fans. However, the imaginative composer and virtuosic improviser does not waiver from his ability to interpret acknowledged classics. Fantasia Cubana: Variations on Classical Themes demonstrates this attribute and reveals Chucho Valdés in peak form. He pays homage to Ernesto Lecuona, the concert pianist and founder of the Havana Symphony who is generally recognized as the most important Cuban musician of the first half of the 20th century. The recording includes 14 compositions with three completely different takes of "Chopin: Three Faces of Lecuona: La Comparsa"…

In November 2013 Lang Lang returned to London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall for two recitals that sold out within 48 hours of tickets being released. This 120 minute film captures the complete recital and offers an opportunity to re-live an unforgettable concert experience. He finished a celebrated two-part program consisting of Mozart and Chopin with no less than eight encores, breaking Evgeny Kissin's record of encores at the RAH. The three early Mozart Piano Sonatas have been part of Lang Lang's latest recital which he presented live in more than 200 concerts worldwide - the recordings that were captured at his RAH concert are also part of the new Mozart album.

Pour ce nouvel album, Marialy Pacheco rencontre Omar Sosa, Hamilton de Holanda, Joo Kraus, Rhani Krija, Miguel Zenon et Max Mutzke, six grands maitres reconnus mondialement dans leurs arts. Avec tant de compétence et de musicalité, ce qui fait la particularité de chacun se perdrait s'ils jouaient tous ensemble. Au lieu de cela, nous avons ici davantage affaire à plusieurs rendez-vous uniques. Et la pianiste cubaine tire de chaque rencontre le meilleur. Le concept de l'album est résumé en un seul mot : Duets. Aussi sobre et concret qu'il puisse paraître, ce titre en cache beaucoup.
