Now Bruce Liu, \u0026#34;a pianist with a captivating musical personality\u0026#34; (Financial Times), has recorded his highly anticipated debut studio album, spanning two centuries of French keyboard music. The Paris-born pianist has taken a historical approach in selecting his repertoire, focusing on three French composers who played a central role in the development of keyboard music between the 18th and early 20th centuries: \u003cstrong\u003eJean-Philippe Rameau\u003c\/strong\u003e (1683-1764), \u003cstrong\u003eCharles-Valentin Alkan\u003c\/strong\u003e (1813-88) and \u003cstrong\u003eMaurice Ravel\u003c\/strong\u003e (1875-1937). The album\u0026#039;s title reflects both the nature theme that runs throughout the album and Liu\u0026#039;s spontaneous style: \u0026#34;The sea is always changing,\u0026#34; he notes. \u0026#34;And my approach to the music I play is never fixed.\u0026#34;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis DG Store exclusive limited edition also includes the popular Gnossiennes by French composer Erik Satie and a high-quality signed art card of Bruce Liu in gatefold format!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince winning the Chopin Competition Bruce Liu has become renowned for his breathtaking, charismatic live performances. Recording an entire studio album therefore posed a different challenge, but one he has relished. “For me, it’s in a studio that you can really make your own puzzle,” he explains. “It’s like making a piece of art, putting everything together.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST\u003cbr \/\u003eLP1 \/ A\u003cbr \/\u003eRameau: Gavotte et six doubles, RCT 5\/7\u003cbr \/\u003eAlkan: No. 6, Barcarolle [Recueil de chants, Op. 65]\u003cbr \/\u003eRameau: Les sauvages, RCT 6\/14\u003cbr \/\u003eRavel: No. 1, Noctuelles [Miroirs, M. 43]\u003cbr \/\u003eRavel: No. 2, Oiseaux tristes [Miroirs, M. 43]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP1 \/ B\u003cbr \/\u003eRavel: No. 3, Une barque sur l\u0026#039;océan [Miroirs, M. 43]\u003cbr \/\u003eRavel: No. 4, Alborada del gracioso [Miroirs, M. 43]\u003cbr \/\u003eRavel: No. 5, La vallée des cloches [Miroirs, M. 43]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP2 \/ A\u003cbr \/\u003eAlkan: No. 12, Le festin d\u0026#039;Ésope [12 Etudes in All the Minor Keys, Op. 39]\u003cbr \/\u003eRameau: Les tendres plaintes—Rondeau, RCT 3\/1\u003cbr \/\u003eRameau: Les cyclopes—Rondeau, RCT 3\/8\u003cbr \/\u003eRameau: Menuets, RCT 6\/3-4\u003cbr \/\u003eRameau: La poule, RCT 6\/12\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP2 \/ B\u003cbr \/\u003eSatie: No. 1, Lent [Gnossiennes]\u003cbr \/\u003eSatie: No. 2, Avec étonnement [Gnossiennes]   \u003cbr \/\u003eSatie: No. 3, Lent [Gnossiennes]   \u003cbr \/\u003eSatie: No. 4, Lent [Gnossiennes]  \u003cbr \/\u003eSatie: No. 5, Modéré [Gnossiennes]  \u003cbr \/\u003eSatie: No. 6, Avec conviction et avec une tristesse rigoureuse [Gnossiennes]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruce Liu","offers":[{"title":"OS","offer_id":46384527606003,"sku":"504369000","price":52.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/1182\/3859\/files\/Bruce-Liu_Waves-Music-by-Rameau-Ravel-Alkan_2-Vinyl-signierte-Art-Card_s504369_o2082351_a396384_v10732399.3ffb96da.png?v=1751138215","url":"https:\/\/store.deutschegrammophon.com\/en-de\/products\/bruce-liu-waves-music-by-rameau-ravel-alkan-1","provider":"Deutsche Grammophon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
