Roger Muraro is not usually associated with Domenico Scarlatti, but he will bewitch us with Scarlatti’s brief but heady Allegro, before returning to more familiar territory. Muraro, a student of husband and wife duo Messiaen and Loriod, discovered Scriabin at the age of 23 with Sonata No. 4. He wanted to deepen his understanding of the composer in order to appreciate his “madness” and music. Muraro delivers his findings in a performance of Fantasy opus 28 (1900), whose chromaticism heralds the Divine Poem. However, the morning will be devoted mainly to his exploration of Chopin’s 24 Preludes in which, according to Liszt, “everything seems to be the first draft, in a single burst, and on the spur of the moment”. However, this performer leaves nothing to chance.

English

On n’associe pas forcément le nom de Roger Muraro à celui de Domenico Scarlatti. Il nous y captivera pourtant le temps d’un bref mais entêtant Allegro. Et ensuite ? Retour en terrain connu. Venu à Scriabine vers 23 ans par la Sonate n° 4, le disciple du couple Loriod-Messiaen voulut ensuite approfondir sa connaissance du personnage pour mieux cerner sa « folie » et sa musique. Il nous livrera le résultat de ses recherches dans la Fantaisie opus 28, dont le chromatisme annonce, en 1900, celui du Divin Poème. Mais la majeure partie de la matinée sera consacrée à l’exploration des 24 Préludes de Chopin où, selon Liszt, « tout semble de premier jet, d’élan, de soudaine venue ». L’interprète n’y laissera cependant rien au hasard.
