Description:

Wagner & Lachoumia: "America" performed by two French pianists: Vanessa Wagner, born in Rennes in 1973, is a versatile performer of not only classical music but also electronic music, and Lachoumia, born in Lyon in 1974, was trained by Haydushek and is pursuing her own unique program. Born in 1973 in Rennes, Vanessa Wagner is a versatile performer not only in classical music but also in electronic music. The first contact between the two was when Wagner, who was shocked to hear Lachoumia's recording of Villa-Lobos, contacted Lachoumia and invited her to join him on a tour to perform Varèse's American music. Since then, a series of collaborations have resulted in the appearance of this album. The program of music selections begins with Ellis Island, which Europeans in the past always passed through when they came to America, then ventures into New York (West Side Story), minimalist music by Glass, and the explosive energy of John Adams, which requires an extremely precise sense of rhythm from the player. This is a program that will allow you to enjoy the world of American music. King International
