At just 25 years of age, pianist Théo Fouchenneret boldly presents a Beethoven programme of extreme variety with the "Waldstein" Sonata, No. 21, which, with its massive textures and dynamic contrasts, seems to want to rival the sound of the orchestra, whereas No. 29, "Hammerklavier", is marked by its savage onslaughts. In these works which pianists generally tackle very late in their career, Théo Fouchenneret displays astonishing authority. The power of his playing, full-toned and intense, invites us into a genuine, marvellously expressive interpretation with an astonishing range of timbres. © La Dolce Volta
