Antoine Préat – Piano

Presented by Jean Marc Jean Marc Dumontet (PLATESV-R-2022-011004). Antoine Préat is a distinctive pianist in the new generation. In perpetual pursuit of the ideal tone color and phrasing, he constructs singular musical architectures through cleverly curated programs. Artist-in-residence at the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth, he comes to present a program of immense expressive power. Scarlatti's melodic purity introduces Mozart's highly operatic Sonata No. 14, followed by American composer Amy Beach's Four Sketches cycle, inspired by lines of French romantic poetry. Préat will take on another narrative challenge in confronting the Everest represented by Schubert's Sonata No. 20. Program Domenico Scarlatti • Sonata in A major Kk 208 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart • Sonata No. 14 in C minor KV 547 Amy Beach • Four Sketches Op. 15 Franz Schubert • Sonata No. 20 in A major D 959
