The encore, an end-of-concert ritual, is always highly appreciated by
the audience. In a way, through them the listener gets to know the
artist a little better, as encore choices reveal taste and personality.
Thus, pianist Tristan Pfaff interprets above all pieces he loves: from
the Baroque era of Bach to music of the 20th century by Prokofiev and
Kabalevsky, a very broad musical horizon is proposed. Popular song is
also present with
Gershwin's 'The man I love', in its piano version.
Here,
after two discs – one devoted to Liszt, the other to Schubert, Pfaff
follows one of Schumann's numerous bits of advice inscribed on the score
of his 'Album für die Jugend': 'Nothing great can be achieved in art
without enthusiasm'. With this disc, recorded in very few takes, Tristan
Pfaff, whose greatest pleasure is to play onstage, gives us a
succession of encores… beloved works offered as gifts to the audience. (Presto Classical)
