Josu de Solaun - Nocturnes on the Margins

This is a live recording of the concert given by Josu de Solaun in the auditorium of the Fundaci�n Juan March in Madrid on 30 March 2019. Part of the Foundation�s �M�sica en la noche� (Music at night) series, the recital offered a different interpretation of one of the most popular solo piano genres: the nocturne. Rather than focusing on the canonical works of Chopin, this programme explores the less familiar margins of the repertoire, transporting the listener to a night without frontiers. Eight composers of five different nationalities (American, Italian, French, Romanian and Bulgarian) together create an alternative and light-filled vision of the nocturne. In the words of the pianist himself, �this album of crepuscular thoughts and melting music is an invitation to the dream world: a journey to the far reaches of the night�.
