After a first Brahms recital that made a great impression, and Mozart concertos praised by the press for their natural fit (Gramophone) and fluidity (Le Monde), pianist Jonathan Fournel, winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition at the age of 27 and now an important figure on the international stage, has decided to record Chopin & Szymanowski, a program that he has already performed extensively in concert: "I like Chopin's 3rd Sonata because the melodic lines don't need any embellishments, they're already beautiful — in the same way that the Mona Lisa doesn’t need any make-up. The same is true for Szymanowski's more virtuoso pieces. Szymanowski is a bit like a Scriabin who developed at full speed and who at times approached the Viennese style. I like that because there's research to be done inside, but it's not virtuosity à la Rachmaninov. What I like about these composers is that every element counts and expresses something.”

Jonathan Fournel, Piano
