Momentum

The artistic concept of the new album 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 Brussel, is a laureate of numerous international awards, a participant of many master classes, and for the entirety of her career has been performing in the world's most famous concert halls, enchanting the listeners with excellent technique and great emotional, plenty of colors, and conscious musicality.
