Info for De la nuit
„Beim dynamischen Wechsel der Betonung”, bemerkte The Independent, „zeigt Dénes Várjon die wertvollste aller Begabungen: die Fähigkeit, so zu spielen, dass man das Vertraute neu erleben kann.” Diese Fähigkeit steht im Vordergrund, wenn Várjon sich an Schumanns Fantasiestücke, Ravels Gaspard de la nuit und Bartóks Im Freien feinfühlig herantastet – eine Reise durch drei Welten poetischer Imagination, wie Jürg Stenzl im Booklet ausführt. “All three works were bold forays into fundamentally new music that far transcended the limits of their time. They require pianists for whom transcendent virtuosity is second nature.” Das Album wurde im April 2016 im Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI in Lugano aufgenommen und von Manfred Eicher produziert.
