I built this acoustic piano recital in two parts: The Composer as a Performer, where I go through the ensemble of my piano catalog alone, from Douze Mouvements to the recent Prelude 2018 in homage Debussy. I dedicate The Performer as a Composer to jazzy ballads and very varied improvisations.
The piano is my source and continues to be, along with the orchestra, the driving force of my inspiration as a composer.
In this recital, I go through my entire catalog of works for solo piano, from Twelve Movements (1980) to the recent Prelude 2018 in homage to Claude Debussy.
Douze Mouvements
Chants d'amour
Portraits
Etudes Africaines
Inventions
Piano Songs
Images - Etudes
Blue Songs and various improvisations
One might say that a piano performance by Denis Levaillant is, primarily, a pianist facing and relating to his instrument.We might add that, when performing “PianoSoloPiano”, he gives a show in every sense of the term, a show in which his physical involvement, its musical organic extension, takes us to a powerful emotional level.
