Javier Perianes returns to the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris to make his recital debut on 15 April as part of the Jeanine Roze’s series ‘Concerts du Dimanche Matin’. The programme features works by Chopin, Debussy and Falla.
“With a painter or goldsmith’s touch, he brings unfailing elegance and a wide palette of tones to his readings of Chopin. His interpretations of Debussy are full of glowing colours, especially in the three pieces which draw their inspiration from Spain and which prompted de Falla to say that the French composer was the most faithful translator of the spirit of Spain. Flamboyant, and intoxicated with rhythms and heady scents, excerpts from the ballet El amor brujo (Love bewitched) and the rugged sun-scorched masterpiece Fantasia Baetica, find in Javier Perianes a faithful and uncompromising translator who upholds the honour of the Spanish school of piano in the unforgettable tradition of Alicia de Larrocha.”
Perianes last performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in 2015 with the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris under the baton of Adrien Perruchon.
