Solo keyboard works of Bach and Boulez on the same program? Is such a decision that of an ill-informed young pianist fresh out of school? Or perhaps a combination of seemingly disparate composers simply for shock value? The answer is no to both questions. Surprisingly, this program works astonishingly well. Boulez, like countless composers before him, is not immune to the far-reaching affects of J.S. Bach's keyboard works. What is remarkable is how pianist David Fray, heard here in his debut album, is able to illuminate these similarities to his listeners. What's regrettable, however, is that Fray did not write his own program notes to further illustrate his own thoughts and reasoning for bridging several centuries of music on a single album. Instead, the notes were written by a third party and are too filled with conjecture and metaphor. Based on this debut album, however, Fray is likely to have a promising career ahead of him, especially if he is able to continue bringing together interesting and unconventional programs. His nimble technique and unassuming character are a perfect match for Bach and Boulez alike. From the sublimely simple moments of Bach to the frenetic outbursts of Boulez, Fray's sound is always quite clean, making every note, every dynamic, and every nuance immediately noticeable to the listener.
