Witchcraft: Concert at Conservatoire Rachmaninoff

About the Event

The Jatekok Duo, with 'Sorcellerie', invites listeners into a realm where classical music delves into the occult and fantastic. This Warner Classic album, released on November 1st, serves as a journey through extraordinary tales and timeless legends, each piece functioning as a sonic spell.

Liszt's Sonata, transcribed by Saint‐Saëns, stands at the core of this collection, embodying the Faustian pact through its intricate structure and daring harmonies. Dukas's 'L'Apprenti sorcier' serves as a mischievous counterpoint, illustrating the blend of audacity and recklessness in youth, with unforeseen consequences.

Lastly, Mussorgsky's 'Night on Bald Mountain' creates a supernatural ambiance, evoking ancient and mysterious forces. 'Sorcellerie' isn't just an album but a narrative celebrating human imagination through piano artistry, offering a fresh perspective on classic works and transforming myths into a spellbinding contemporary experience.
