Samson François ∙ The Ettlingen Recital 1960

9.99 €

Samson François was one of France’s most provocative and enigmatic pianists. His recitals brought out the sense of dynamism and spontaneity in his playing and François seemed more or less engaged dependent on form. This CD is from a surviving live recorded recital in Ettlingen, Germany on 03 May 1960. Here he played with subtle imagination and vital expression, loaded of intense poetry, aristocratic elegance and inspired musicianship. The Prokofiev Seventh Sonata is played with rage and fierceness.
