Pianist Pierre Solot is rediscovering Ernesto Lecuona's hybrid music: a blend of romantic virtuosity, Cuban dances, passionate outpourings, evocations of travel and a few decadent relics of 19th-century Vienna. A virtuoso Cuban pianist and composer, Ernesto Lecuona was acclaimed by George Gershwin and Maurice Ravel when he toured Europe and the United States. He followed in the footsteps of those 19th-century piano heroes who, in the throes of their passions, "burned" the stages and set audiences alight; pianists whose spells transformed the piano into an orchestral machine ready to set the world ablaze, to make it dance, or, on the contrary, to evoke solitude and the exile of love. The winds of Havana will be blowing through Flagey, so let yourself be seduced by this Brussels premiere, which also marks the release of the CD.
