about
Their first recording (Schubert) was a masterstroke. Now the duo Ismaël Margain-Guillaume Bellom is back with a new offering on the Aparté label: pieces for piano four hands by Mozart.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the first to compose pieces for piano four hands. In his very early years as a composer he wrote several such pieces that he performed with his sister Nannerl during some of there numerous tours. The three works presented here were composed in Vienna in 1786 and 1787, when the young virtuoso was about to give up his career as a pianist in order to concentrate on composing operas, having been stimulated by his meeting with the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. The Sonata in F major (KV 497) was written four months after Le Nozze di Figaro and was first performed in Vienna on 4 November 1786, four months before the Andante and Variations in G major (KV 501). The last one, the Sonata in C major (KV 521), was written in May 1787, six months before Don Giovanni, when Mozart had reached his full maturity as a composer.
Ismaël Margain and Guillaume Bellom (combined age: forty!) show fine insight into the art of Mozart, and the spirit of their playing is refreshingly youthful!
Après un coup d’essai qui fut un coup de maître, le duo Ismaël Margain et Guillaume Bellom revient pour un nouvel opus, dédié à Mozart.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, est le pionnier de la composition pour piano à quatre mains. Dans sa jeunesse, il écrivit plusieurs œuvres du genre qu’il joua avec sa sœur Nannerl lors de leurs nombreuses tournées. Les trois partitions de ce programme furent, elles, composées entre 1786 et 1787 à Vienne. Le jeune virtuose quittait alors sa carrière de pianiste pour se consacrer à l’écriture d’opéras, stimulé par sa rencontre avec Lorenzo Da Ponte. La Sonate en fa majeur KV 497 a été conçue quatre mois après Le nozze di Figaro et précède de quatre mois la création de l’Andante et variations KV 501. La copie de la Sonate KV 521 fut, elle, rendue en mai 1787, six mois avant Don Giovanni, dans la pleine maturité du compositeur. Elle est sa toute dernière sonate pour piano à quatre mains.
L’interprétation d’Ismaël Margain et Guillaume Bellom témoigne d’une grande compréhension de l’art mozartien dans la fougue juvénile de leurs quarante ans à deux !
