Andrew von Oeyen's "Live in Recital: Chopin - Ravel - Debussy" is a captivating journey through the romantic and impressionist eras of classical piano music. Released on June 4, 2013, under V&V Recordings, this 48-minute album showcases von Oeyen's exceptional skill and artistry. The tracklist features a mix of well-known pieces and hidden gems, including Chopin's evocative "Barcarolle in F-Sharp Major, Op. 60" and the hauntingly beautiful "Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor, Op. Posth." Ravel's "La Valse" and Debussy's "Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte" add a touch of French elegance, while Chopin's "Preludes, Book I, L. 117: XII. Minstrels" offers a playful contrast. Von Oeyen's dynamic and nuanced performances bring these compositions to life, making this album a delightful exploration of the piano repertoire for both casual listeners and classical music enthusiasts.
