about

Jean-Paul Gasparian, a brilliant pianist who graduated from the Paris Conservatoire and already internationally rewarded, devotes his first album to three giants of Russian music from the beginning of the 20th century: Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and Prokofiev. In this repertoire that suits him perfectly, a strong and bright sound blossoms thanks to his impeccable technique. He also knows how to highlight the typical and colourful harmonies of the Russian composers.
If Jean-Paul Gasparian’s interpretation strikes by its rigor, he doesn’t lack of inspiration. The recorded programme, which includes Rachmaninoff’s Études-Tableaux and Scriabin’s Études, may seem « studious ». But it’s an accomplished musician that we are dealing with. The culture of the young pianist, his knowledge of avant-garde music and philosophy nourish his approach to the scores.
This elegant and bold record is the first step of a brilliant discographic career to come.

Déjà doté de prestigieuses récompenses internationales, Jean-Paul Gasparian, pianiste prometteur diplômé du CNSM de Paris, consacre son premier disque à trois géants de la musique russe du début du XXe siècle: Rachmaninoff, Scriabine et Prokofiev.
Dans ce répertoire qui lui va comme un gant, le jeune interprète, tant par sa technique que son jeu incandescent, une sonorité puissante et lumineuse, sans jamais négliger la couleur des harmonies poétiques et savoureuses des compositeurs russes.
Si la rigueur est frappante dans les interprétations de Jean-Paul Gasparian, elle ne freine en rien son inspiration. Le programme enregistré, qui compte les Études-Tableaux de Rachmaninoff et les Études de Scriabine donne à entendre un musicien accompli, dont l’approche des oeuvres est nourrie par sa connaissance des avant-gardes musicales et par une solide culture philosophique.
Ce premier disque, impeccable d’élégance, marque les débuts d’une carrière discographique attendue.
