Vanessa Wagner - Study of the Invisible (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

The neoclassical sphere will persist, and will not – it seems - get rid of its desire for nebulous post-Chopin melancholy. And from her beautiful show with Murcof, the pianist Vanessa Wagner had favored very nostalgic sounds and shades. Unlike her many competitors in the post-Brian Eno universe (in Music for Airports mode), Vanessa Wagner, above all a pianist dedicated to classical and modern repertoires, knows that emotion also goes through nuance. If the pieces present here are far from being all inexhaustible (Glass, Studies n ° 16 and 6; or the hardly bearable Lullaby (Song for Octave) by Bryce Dessner), she brings a variety of touch and a very comforting sitting in the keyboard.

The double, consisting of the very poetic Earring by Julia Wolfe, essential composer and co-founder of the famous and so subversive New York collective Bang on a Can, and Caroline Shaw's ample and very classical Gustave Le Gray with its reminiscences of Chopin's Mazurka in A minor (Op. 17 n ° 4), invites us to a journey worthy of some narrative wanderings of contemporary Western cinema. Further, Running by Nico Muhly will certainly make you want to repeat the adventure.
