Product Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Jean Françaix with his captivating album "Françaix spielt Françaix," released in 1991 under the Wergo label. This neoclassical and chamber music gem spans a concise yet impactful 56 minutes, offering a delightful journey through Françaix's musical genius.

The album opens with the "Concerto pour deux pianos et orchestre," a four-movement masterpiece that showcases Françaix's ability to blend playful elegance with intricate musical dialogue. The concerto's lively "Allegro giocoso" and the fiery "Allegro fieramente" are particularly noteworthy, demonstrating the composer's knack for creating dynamic and engaging pieces.

Following the concerto, the album presents "Variations sur un thème plaisant," a series of ten variations that highlight Françaix's skill in transforming a simple theme into a rich tapestry of musical expressions. Each variation offers a unique perspective, from the moderate tempo of the opening to the vivacious finale.

The album concludes with "Cinq portraits de jeunes filles," a charming suite of five character pieces that paint vivid musical portraits of young women. Each portrait, from the capricious "La Capricieuse" to the modern "La Moderne," offers a glimpse into Françaix's whimsical and imaginative world.

Throughout the album, Françaix's compositions are brought to life with exquisite performances that capture the essence of his musical style. "Françaix spielt Françaix" is a testament to the composer's enduring legacy and a treat for lovers of neoclassical and chamber music alike.
