Info for D'ombres

D'ombres... This program is a continuation of the first disc dedicated to Debussy's Études (CYP1678). This recording revealed pianist Elodie Vignon to the public.

Dutilleux has a close relationship with Debussy in his sensory approach to music. Composed just after the Second World War, his Piano Sonata reminds us, in some aspects, of Claude Debussy's Pour le piano, also composed after another Great War. The composition of the Three Preludes, spread over a period of fifteen years, testifies to the composer's desire to change his style and syntax, making it less linear and traditional. Claude Ledoux emerges from the shadows and delivers a work that seeks to translate the world in which we live, a world of silence and sound in perpetual transformation.

In North America, she regularly performs with the Chopin Society in Atlanta and at the Palm Beach Atlantic International Piano Festival.

Elodie's performances at La Donaira are a pause in a busy year which includes concert tours in France, Luxembourg, Spain, England, Lithuania and Canada. Elodie is married to the pianist Julien Libeer and lives in Brussels.
