The album's title is drawn from Romeo's famous exclamation in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It serves as a thematic anchor for the recording, exploring the Romantic obsession with Fate, instability, and the whims of fortune. Préat curates a program that highlights the fragile boundary between brilliance and despair that often defined the lives of 19th-century composers.
Fortune's Fool is more than just a collection of piano tracks; it is a carefully woven tapestry. By placing Schumann and Chopin side-by-side, Préat highlights their shared DNA—both were poets of the keyboard who felt the weight of the world deeply.
It’s a sophisticated choice for anyone who appreciates classical music that prioritizes emotion and philosophy over simple display.
