Jean-François Zygel, récital de piano

Presented by A & A - Hervé Archambeau (Lic. 2-1018545). Virtuosity, sense of color, fantasy, humor, and imagination will be the watchwords of this exceptional concert by the most famous of French improvising pianists, in tribute to the great romantic composer. Drawing inspiration from his rhythmic energy, his pianistic heroism, and his powerful, defined themes, Jean-François Zygel devises a genuine recital of improvisations, just as Beethoven himself practiced them until the end of his life before his beloved Viennese public. Jean-François Zygel holds a truly singular place in French musical creation. Renewing the art of piano through improvisation and through his concept of the concert as a true spectacle, he turns each of his performances into a unique, unexpected event. “A surprising and original concert by a virtuoso loved by all, a genius improviser whose humor and imagination captivated audiences” Télérama
