Liszt / Jaell / Spinnler - Piano A 4 Mains - Music CD

A singular composer, Marie Jaell (1846-1925) made the piano the perfect confidant of her inspiration. In her short pieces for piano four hands, she succeeded in capturing both the changing essence of Nature, with it's storms, perfumes and infinity, and the tremors and anxieties of the human heart in the face of love or the fragility of life. Her two teachers, admirers and faithful friends Franz Liszt and Camille Saint-Saens are of course present on this recording, as they were in life, alongside their spirited colleague.On their first album at Cypres, the Duo Orloff & Spinnler unveil a figure still too little known today. Marie Jaell's impact on piano teaching has been considerable. Her research into "awareness of movement and the development of sensitivity" led her to publish several groundbreaking books for the time.
