His very early debut at the Verbier Festival 2022 marked the history of 21st-century music: Tsotne Zegdinize blew the audience away with his skills as a pianist and his talent for sight-reading, which allows him to master a piece from the first time he reads it. But it is above all the uniqueness of his compositions, synthesising the legacies of the 20th century, from jazz to Shostakovich, that enchants. Tsotne Zegdinize’s works offer a playful listening experience and leave no one indifferent.
Bernstein’s rarely performed Sonata for Clarinet and Piano foreshadows his work on West Side Story, with numerous rhythmic changes that seem to reflect the mental evolution of the
musical character in this piece. This is a godsend for the colourful Pierre Génisson.
The Three Songs from William Shakespeare will give Emma Jüngling every opportunity to display her narrative ease. Discreetly lyrical, putting the text first, these three pieces reconcile popular heritage with the boldness of modernity
