Fazıl Say, the renowned Turkish pianist, invites you to experience a captivating journey through the world of classical piano with his upcoming album "Morning," set to release on May 24, 2024, under Warner Classics. This exquisite collection showcases Say's virtuosic prowess and deep musical insight, featuring a diverse repertoire that spans centuries and styles.
The album opens with a delicate and expressive performance of C.P.E. Bach's "Sonata No. 3 in B Minor," followed by a charming rendition of Louis-Claude Daquin's "Le coucou" from his Premier livre de pièces de clavecin. Say's interpretations of Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas reveal the composer's innovative spirit and the pianist's technical brilliance.
The album also includes masterpieces by Mozart, Haydn, and Chopin, demonstrating Say's versatility and command of various musical periods. His rendition of Chopin's "Prelude No. 20 in C Minor" and the famous "Raindrop Prelude" (No. 15) are particularly noteworthy, showcasing his ability to evoke deep emotions and nuance.
Say's own composition, "Winter Morning in Istanbul" from his "Art of Piano" suite, offers a unique glimpse into his personal musical language and cultural heritage. The album concludes with Claude Debussy's evocative "Arabesque No. 1," Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's lyrical "Barcarolle" from "The Seasons," and Isaac Albéniz's passionate "Asturias" from his "Suite Española," rounding off this impressive collection with a flourish.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 12 minutes, "Morning" is a testament to Fazıl Say's artistry and his ability to breathe new life into both well-known and lesser-known works of the classical piano repertoire. This album is a celebration of the piano's expressive range and a testament to Say's enduring appeal as one of the most exciting pianists of our time.
