Cyprien Katsaris, the renowned pianist, invites you to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of waltzes with his latest album, "In the Mood for Waltzes, Vol. 3." Released on January 24, 2017, under the Piano 21 label, this collection is a delightful journey through the classical piano repertoire, spanning compositions by Diabelli, Glinka, Schumann, Strauss II, Tchaikovsky, and Bortkiewicz.
This 51-minute album is a testament to Katsaris' virtuosity and his deep connection with the waltz genre. It features a mix of well-known pieces and world premiere recordings, showcasing the pianist's ability to breathe new life into both familiar and lesser-known works. The tracklist includes iconic pieces like Tchaikovsky's "Valse des fleurs" from "The Nutcracker," arranged for four-hands piano, and Strauss II's timeless "An der schönen blauen Donau," arranged for piano.
Katsaris' interpretation of these waltzes is marked by a delicate balance of technical precision and expressive nuance. His playing is both lively and sensitive, capturing the essence of each composition and transporting the audience into the heart of the music. Whether it's the playful "Papillons" by Schumann, the romantic "Valse lointaine," or the patriotic "Patriotic Artists' Association: Theme," each piece is rendered with a unique charm and character.
"In the Mood for Waltzes, Vol. 3" is not just a collection of beautiful waltzes; it's a celebration of the genre and a showcase of Cyprien Katsaris' exceptional artistry. This album is a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and anyone looking to experience the timeless elegance and joy of the waltz.
