About

Jean-Paul Gasparian, a brilliant pianist who graduated from the Paris Conservatoire and already internationally rewarded, devotes his first album to three giants of Russian music from the beginning of the 20th century: Rachmaninov, Scriabin and Prokofiev. In this repertoire that suits him perfectly, a strong and bright sound blossoms thanks to his impeccable technique. He also knows how to highlight the typical and colourful harmonies of the Russian composers.

If Jean-Paul Gasparian’s interpretation strikes by its rigour, he doesn’t lack of inspiration. The recorded programme, which includes Rachmaninov’s Études-Tableaux and Scriabin’s Études, may seem “studious”. But it’s an accomplished
musician that we are dealing with. The culture of the young pianist, his knowledge of avant-garde music and philosophy
nourish his approach to the scores.

This elegant and bold record is the first step of a brilliant discographic career to come.
