David Fray | Edwin Crossley-Mercer by Various, Ab (2012/2012)

Last year he won a triumph in recital at the Konzerthaus in Vienna. His latest DVD devoted to Mozart concertos affirms him as one of the today's greatest pianists. David Fray returns this year to Festival with Schubert (whose he engraved for the disc the famous and sublime Impromptus) and in the company of baritone Edwin Crossley-Mercer, one voices as long as we can heard among others at the Paris Opera in the production of The Merry Widow this spring. Together, David Fray and Edwin Crossley-Mercer concocted for us a sensitive journey to the heart of Schubert, and his Lieder, to follow the steps of the famous Wanderer, walking his sublime and desperate quest. David Fray is not just a great pianist. He loves singing and singers, chamber music and Lieder. U.S. too.
