Bizet: The Piano Works (CD)
- Artist:
- Roberto Prosseda
$21.99
Roberto Prosseda presents a collection of works by one of the most famous of all nineteenth-century composers and yet which remains paradoxically unknown. Bizet, a child prodigy, could have been a virtuoso pianist, had he not devoted most of his short life to opera. The stylistic variety of the music recorded here extends from two Caprices written in 1851 (the work of a twelve-year-old composer) to the much more challenging Variations chromatiques of 1868, with its startlingly severe theme.
