Alexandre Tharaud’s new album features three world premieres on record, three piano concertos written for and dedicated to him. This is what the composers have to say:

“Alexandre Tharaud’s playing was an inspiration for me throughout the composition of the piece. From the first baroque-style Toccata to the supple, crystalline atmosphere of Anunciación and the vigorous and powerful sounds of Toccata II, my intention in this work was to explore particular interpretative facets that he possesses. I was lucky enough to be able to work with him during the creative process – exchanges that most definitely influenced the work.” – Alex Nante

“‘Cara Bali’ might be translated as ‘Bali style’, and the direct reference to gong kebyar is often explicit. For all that, my aim was not to imitate the inimitable, but to establish associations in the mind that might point towards other worlds of sound and poetry. A sort of imaginary detour, or change of scenery, in a project that, very happily, has brought me together again with my trusty accomplice Alexandre Tharaud, the dedicatee…” – Thierry Pécou

“This concerto is first and foremost the fruit of a great friendship, that between Alexandre Tharaud and myself and of our love for our instrument, the piano, and all its familiar characteristics as well as its more covert modes of enchantment. For Alexandre, I wanted to explore the keyboard anew, to call upon dexterity, to run across the keys or hover soundlessly above them, to skim over them with emphatic sighing sounds or to get to their very bottom in order to extract the hidden resonances buried in the deepest recesses of the case …” – Ramon Lazkano
