Blandine Waldmann, piano

The artistic concept of the new CD by French pianist Blandine Waldmann is based on a specific dialogue between tradition and modernity. The dialogue is conducted in the space that spans between the programme music of the famous Pictures from the Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, a classic form of Brahmsian variations and miniatures, and the absolute music of the Piano Sonata No. 9 by Scriabin whose thickened chromatic language is boldly heading towards the limits of tonality. Blandine Waldmann, a graduate of the Belgian Koninklijk Conservatorium Brusse, a laureate of numerous international awards, a participant of many master classes, performing in the world’s most famous concert halls, enchanting the listeners with excellent technique and great emotional, plenty of colours, conscious musicality.
