Adam Laloum, piano
© Julien Benhamou
Adam Laloum is one of France’s most singular and mysterious pianists, reinterpreting the great pages of the repertoire with a mixture of fever and analytical precision. Between German romanticism and the Spanish flame, is there a French synthesis?
.
In Parisian intellectual circles of the time of Manet and Degas, debate was fierce and the quarrels sometimes violent between lovers of Germanic music and those seeking a Latin path, readily turned to traditions from across the Pyrenees in Spain. Schumann was seen by some as neurotic or a poet of the soul, Wagner adored or hated, Albeniz despised as a tawdry folklorist or celebrated as a genius, etc. An admirer of the Master of Bayreuth, Fauré nevertheless knew how to distance himself from his influence.
