Invencia Piano DuoAbout
Florent Schmitt was one of the most important of all French composers, an individualist who defies the simplicities of classification. The last of this four-disc series explores Schmitt’s Humoresques, Op.43, a cycle full of unexpected and witty twists, as well as the visionary Lied et scherzo, Op.54.
His gift for characterisation is always evident, not least in Trois pièces récréatives, Op.37 which is strongly spiced with humour. The set concludes with Une semaine du petit elfe Ferme–l’oeil, Op.58, one of Schmitt’s best–known masterworks.
The Invencia Piano Duo has won high critical acclaim for its compelling interpretations of a vast and diverse repertoire. Lutsyshyn was a prize winner at the Vienna Modern Masters International Performers’s Recording Awards Competition and the William Kapell International Piano Competition. Kasparov won the Albert Roussel Prize at the Orléans International Piano Competition and gave the première of Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 3 to great acclaim.
World Première Recordings of the Lied et scherzo and the 3 Pièces Récréatives.
