Dive into the enchanting world of classical piano with Eloïse Bella Kohn's debut orchestral album, "Parisienne," set to release on October 4, 2024, under the haenssler CLASSIC label. This captivating collection features two masterful piano concertos that showcase Kohn's extraordinary talent and artistry.
The album opens with Jules Massenet's Piano Concerto in E-Flat Major, a work that has been unjustly overlooked until now. Kohn's interpretation brings this hidden gem to life, revealing its rich harmonies and melodic brilliance. The concerto's three movements—Andante moderato - Allegro non troppo, Largo, and Airs slovaques. Allegro—offer a journey through a range of emotions and musical textures.
Following this, Kohn takes on Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83. This concerto, with its distinctive Spanish influences and virtuosic demands, provides a stunning showcase for Kohn's technical prowess and musical sensitivity. The three movements—Allegramente, Adagio assai, and Presto—demonstrate Ravel's unique compositional voice and Kohn's ability to bring out the nuances of his score.
Accompanying Kohn on this musical voyage is the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, conducted by the esteemed Christoph Koncz. Their collaboration results in a performance that is both powerful and nuanced, highlighting the intricate interplay between soloist and orchestra.
"Parisienne" is not just a collection of beautiful music; it is a testament to Eloïse Bella Kohn's dedication to reviving forgotten works and presenting them with fresh insight. With a total duration of 54 minutes, this album is a perfect addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection. Whether you are a longtime fan of Kohn's work or discovering her talent for the first time, "Parisienne" promises an unforgettable listening experience.
