Alexander Malofeev – piano

Presented by Philippe Maillard production (PLATESV-R-2022-011004). In addition to his prodigious technical capabilities that opened the doors of major international stages to him early on, Alexander Malofeev has displayed great artistic maturity since his debut. Opening with an unmeasured prelude by Louis Couperin as a space of freedom, the program reveals a mosaic of interior landscapes. In Sergei Prokofiev's work, a few miniatures sketch fleeting impressions, like La Promenade which carries us toward sun-drenched nature. Echoing the tranquility of Tchaikovsky's delicately poetic pages, the fiery spirit of William Bolcom's Rag infernal resounds a little later, heralding Liszt's ferocious Mephisto Waltz.
