CD MOMENTUM – DUX LABEL
[…] the very deep interpretation perfectly reflects their characters and highlights the great technique and all the pianistic sensitivity of Blandine, a perfectly mastered and wonderfully colorful play
“Momentum was chosen as the Latin equivalent of the French word, “élan”. Momentum in English, honors Scriabin and one of the chief characteristics of his musical language.”
“[…] the very deep interpretation perfectly reflects their characters and highlights the great technique and all the pianistic sensitivity of Blandine, a perfectly mastered and wonderfully colorful play.”
“Waldmann’ s beautifully thought-out and executed performances of each of these masterworks will serve to convince the listener that an important new exponent of the keyboard has arrived on the scene. Heartily recommended not only to pianophiles but to music lovers of every stripe.”
“The French pianist has a big tone, but perhaps what is more important is that she creates a sound appropriate to each of the composers on this disc.”
“A terrific disc, thought-provoking and fabulously thought through in terms of repertoire and presentation.”
“The touch of the pianist is endeavouring to find a sound pallet and a unique color, returned with emotion, without denying the passage of time, on the contrary; and to work with an obstinacy fascinated on the variability of the expression and the dynamics.”
“Blandine Waldmann evolves freely between these worlds (Moussorgsky, Brahms, Scriabin), seduced by his excellent technique and his strong emotion, but also takes a real pleasure in making music, which is immediately perceptible to the listener.”
“I have known Blandine to be a consummate and sensitive pianist possessing an impressive performance style. Her artistry is unique and her interpretations, especially of Scriabin are clear and thoughtful.”
“[…] The musicality first of all, the technical control and the emotional depth mark the identity of the charismatic pianist. In her first album released on DUX, the artist dedicates herself to some masterpieces of the piano romanticism.”
