Paul Wee plays Thalberg: L'art du chant

Pianist and London barrister Paul Wee's second album: Thalberg - L'art du chant International barrister by day and piano virtuoso by night, Paul Wee made his recording début in 2019 with some of the most technically demanding piano music there is: Alkan’s Symphony and Concerto for solo piano. He now returns with music which presents a different, but not lesser challenge: how make the keyboard sing: "I feel a very personal connection to Thalberg’s “mission statement” in the preface to L’art du chant appliqué au piano (“the art of singing applied to the piano”), which acknowledges immediately that the piano is not literally capable of singing: it is a percussion instrument, whose notes decay once struck. So, Thalberg writes, the answer lies in illusion: through skilful writing and execution, to create the impression of song from hammers hitting steel. Beauty of tone and sonic illusion are two of my greatest obsessions at the piano, and probably the aspects of pianism that intoxicate me most."⠀ Album release: 6 November 2020.
