In his very first album, pianist Rodolphe Menguy invites us to reflect on two groups of composers (Bartók / Kodály versus Franz Liszt) and how they dealt with traditional music but also what influence this had on the evolution of music-writing - thereby on the evolution of pianism. An ambitious programme that reveals a more than promising talent.
