Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Moritz Moszkowski with his captivating collection of piano compositions, set to be released on April 12, 2025, under the label iMD-Claudio Colombo. This album, titled "Moszkowski: Moments musicaux, Op. 7 & Op. 84 - 3 Morceaux poétiques, Op. 42," is a concise yet profound journey through the classical piano repertoire, spanning a total of 36 minutes.
Moszkowski, a virtuoso pianist and composer of the Romantic era, showcases his mastery of the piano with pieces that are both technically demanding and emotionally resonant. The album features three distinct sets of compositions: the "3 Moments musicaux, Op. 7," the "4 Moments musicaux, Op. 84," and the "3 Morceaux poétiques, Op. 42." Each piece within these sets offers a unique blend of moods and tempos, from the lively "Allegramente" to the serene "Tranquillo e semplice," and the majestic "Maestoso."
The "Moments musicaux" (Musical Moments) are brief, lyrical pieces that highlight Moszkowski's ability to convey a wide range of emotions through his music. The "Morceaux poétiques" (Poetic Pieces), on the other hand, are more expansive and evocative, with titles like "Romance" and "Momento giojoso" suggesting a narrative or poetic inspiration.
This album is a testament to Moszkowski's enduring appeal and his significant contributions to the classical piano repertoire. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this collection offers a delightful and enriching listening experience.
