Description
Few composers possess such a keen sense of mystery and intimacy.
Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt, piano
Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt led a low-key career, away from the media spotlight. Upon the death of Nicholas Angelich, people remembered that he was one of his oldest friends. People revisited his organ playing—powerful and warm, expansive and majestic, the sound of a cathedral. He was embraced as a brother to the beloved departed.
For his Sunday morning recital, Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt aptly chose Robert Schumann. The man whom Yves Nat called “a brother of the soul.”
The one who, through his whimsy, tenderness, culture, and boundless imagination, makes us lighter, more tender, more cultured, and more imaginative.
Few composers possess this sense of mystery and intimacy to such a high degree.
