An essential component for impressionists, water and its multiple shimmers also fascinates musicians, but no composer spent forty years of their life writing aquatic pieces like Gabriel Fauré with his thirteen Barcarolles. Influenced by Mendelssohn’s own barcarolles in his youth, Fauré slowly moved away from mundane social events to find a style closer to abstraction and pure poetry. From the carefree and frivolous youth that aims to seduce, to the austerity of the more mature that leads to the melancholic nostalgia of the old age, it is a fascinating journey to take on, dotted with various experiences, which reflect the way of life that was abruptly interrupted by the tragedy of the Great War.
Born in Egypt, but of Lebanese origins, Billy Eidi discovered classical music in Beirut with the professor who prepared him for his admission at the conservatory. Undecided between a career as a doctor or a pianist, he left for Paris at the start of the Lebanese Civil War and joined the Versailles Conservatory. Now a French citizen, Billy Eidi is a scholar, passionate about French music that he plays with subtle indulgence. He is a partner of choice for the melody he recorded with Marie Devellereau, Yann Beuron and Laurent Naouri. Always meticulous, the playing style of the “poet pianist” (Jean Roy) manages with constant vigour to avoid the potential pitfall of sounding insipid. Not to be missed! © François Hudry/Qobuz
