Héritage
Valère Burnon
[ Fuga Libera / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 29 January 2027
This recording explores Chopin's legacy through the works of Liszt, Fauré, Szymanowski and Rachmaninov. The ballade, the nocturne, the mazurka and the prelude - all forms closely associated with Chopin - are transformed and reinvented here in very different musical languages.
Each of these composers preserves a trace of Chopin's influence whilst transforming it according to his own sensibility: Liszt gives the Ballade an almost symphonic scale, Fauré refines the harmonic colours of the Nocturne, Szymanowski juxtaposes Polish folklore with a modern musical language, whilst Rachmaninov sets the Preludes within a profoundly Russian world. Valère Burnon offers a fascinating journey of discovery through a legacy that has inspired - and will continue to inspire - generations of composers.
