French Pianist Julien Brocal to Unveil NCPA Piano Virtuosos 2019

NCPA January/10/2019
On January 20th, pianist Julien Brocal will make his NCPA debut, presenting works of Chopin and Ravel as the opening piano recital of the NCPA Piano Virtuosos 2019.

2019 marks the 170th anniversary of the Chopin’s death. Brocal will bring Chopin's 24 Preludes in the first half of the concert to pay tribute to his favorite music master. In this set of 24 Preludes, Chopin created clear and vague clues through alternating forms of 24 major and minor tunes to express the rich emotional connotations of survival and death, joy and sadness.

Pianist Julien Brocal

In the second half, Brocal will bring two classic piano works by Ravel–Sonatine and Miroirs suite. In Sonatine, the composer makes use of adequate changes in strength, rhythm, harmony and pedals, etc. The Miroirs suite contains five independent piano songs. Ravel uses his colourful notes to paint vivid pictures for the audience: the moths dancing in the moonlight, sad birds chirping in the forest, a lonely boat drifting at sea, a gentle and sorrowful clown, bells of the church in Paris ringing at noon... All of that to make audiences dwell on the world created by Ravel.

The NCPA Piano Virtuosos 2019 will once again invite world-renowned piano virtuosos to show the extraordinary charm of piano art from January 20th to December 21st through a series of classic interpretations of different art pieces. 14 wonderful piano feasts will be presented for Beijing audiences. Stay tuned!
