Amy Beach : Une prodige empêchée
An American in that waning 19th century
which saw classical music’s increasing
evolution, a child prodigy pianist and
yet, as a woman, deprived of a high level musical education, Amy Beach
managed to transcend her condition
thanks to an out-of-the-ordinary
talent and unflagging determination.
Snubbed by publishers after her death
despite the immense esteem earned
during her lifetime, her brilliant, rich,
empassioned musical world deserves
to be rediscovered. This album takes
us on a journey through 45 years of her
repertoire for piano.
