The carefree enjoyment of combining all kinds of music that lends itself to this seems to have been the main guiding principle that the French composer Luc Ferrari (* 1929) has presented during his career. Apparently this was an early start for him, because already in his "Suite" for piano from 1952, different styles (Stravinsky, Bartok, Hindemith), loosely fitted into the classical French dance
… forms (bourrée, gigue, etc.), make their appearance. to make. Pianist Christine Lagniel plays this "Suite", while Michel Maurer (piano) takes care of three other piano works from the 1950s ("Antisonate", "Suite hétéroclite" and "Visage I"), in which, although less extreme, also such diversity resonates. To conclude this CD, both pianists will give a performance of the 1989-1991 "Comme une Fantaisie dit des Réminiscences" for two pianos. It is a reworked version of Dusapin's "Scène du va et vient" from 1980.

It is indeed a coming and going of well-known passages and those who like a musical puzzle will certainly have fun identifying the fragments. Incidentally, Ferrari's moderately modern piano music can also captivate the listener without such mind sport, which is why these beautiful performances are to blame.
