Enrico Pieranunzi, André Ceccarelli & Diego Imbert - FAURÉVER (A Tribute to Gabriel Fauré) (2024) [Digital Download 24/88]

'Fauréver' or the double intention of Enrico Pieranunzi, in recording this 'jazz' tribute to Gabriel Fauré, to honor the eternal beauty of the works of this great composer while emphasizing the need, in these new modern times, to continue to dream. Over the years Enrico Pieranunzi has developed a relationship of silent complicity with Fauré's music. Every time he played his barcarolles or nocturnals or when he listened to his chamber music he was left breathless. This is why Bonsaï Music, after producing the two previous albums of the trio he formed with André Ceccarelli and Diego Imbert, immediately agreed to record 'Fauréver'. In this new project, Enrico Pieranunzi wanted to honor the upcoming 100th anniversary of the disappearance of Gabriel Fauré. To do this, Enrico Pieranunzi set out to reread a large part of Fauré's music on the piano, to fully immerse himself in it by 'plunging his hands' into his sounds, rejoicing once again at the rediscovery of the solutions melodic and harmonic notes of the Maestro. In doing so, an exciting phenomenon of "germination" occurred, whereby other musics were born from his own. A powerful and moving process which can be heard in several titles of this album, such as the Prelude for a lullaby, the formidable Waltz for a pavane, Autour de la sicilienne, Caprice in blue or La nuit, la nuit after the very famous After a dream. The other tracks on the album are the result of a sort of musical game: taking a theme and changing its tempo. Thus, the Maestro's fourth barcarolle, sensual and fluctuating, became Funkarolle a captivating funky, Mai, one of Fauré's first works when he was only 16 years old, was transformed into Les fleurs de mai a jazz piece swing; Dolly, a well-known work in the four-hand repertoire, renamed Bonjour Dolly! flirts with the sunshine of an unpredictable Cuban rhythm, while Romance pour un roman is the Jazz-Blues evocation of the Maestro's tender third Romance sans mots Op. 17. Of course, Enrico Pieranunzi would not have been able to realize this dream of "playing" with the music so loved by the one Claude Debussy called "The Master of Grace" without having at his side the two extraordinary musicians with whom he already has through recorded and published two Jazz & Classic albums in the past, namely André Ceccarelli, Diego Imbert, joined on this occasion by the singer Simona Severini and the great clarinetist. Gabriele Mirabassi who embellished the pieces in which he plays with his dual skills as a great jazz player and a refined classical interpreter. ‘Fauréver’, an invitation to the eternal dream and to the grace of both Gabriel Fauré and Enrico Pieranunzi, here his ambassador.
