Lutxi Nesprias, the pianist, was awarded the second prize at the San Sebastian International Piano Competition and the Romantic Music Prize at the Tel Aviv Festival.
Recording & Production
The Nesprias-Chatoux duo formed in 2018 at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris (CRR), where Frédéric Chatoux teaches flute and Lutxi Nesprias accompanies instrumental classes.
Interpretation
The performers aim to embrace both the power and the inherent fragilities of the flute, which they believe have been largely overlooked in Romantic-era compositions.
Interpretation
The recording emphasizes the richness and variety of timbres, vibratos, and colors resulting from the meeting of the flute and piano, rather than a direct adaptation of vocal works.
Performer Biography
Frédéric Chatoux, the flutist, began his career as principal flute with Leonard Bernstein in the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival orchestra.
Album & Artwork
This album explores late Romanticism, covering works from Robert Schumann's 'Dichterliebe' in 1840 to Gabriel Fauré's 'Fantaisie' in 1898.
