Titanic, Romantic, impassioned, Tchaikovsky’s 'Grande Sonate' for piano op.37 is like a Russian epic, with its landscapes and its battles. The more intimate cycle 'The Seasons', like a musical diary, depicts the frailty of human existence. These two works, respectively imposing and delicate, demonstrate Tchaikovsky’s love of the piano.

Renowned for his poetic streak, his precise playing and his expression power, Jonas Vitaud studied with Brigitte Engerer. He was awarded four prizes at the Paris National Conservatory (piano, chamber music, harmony and piano accompaniment) and several international prizes as a soloist and in chamber music.
