"Don’t stay locked in a single domain" is the credo of this young Austrian-Romanian pianist, Aaron Pilsan, who has been cultivating the usual repertoire alongside a passionate devotion to today’s composers. He used to be a pupil of András Schiff and Lars Vogt during his studies at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Before the age of thirty he had already recorded for a number of prestigious labels, such as Deutsche Grammophon, Naïve, and Alpha Classics, including the recording of this new album, where he boldly confronts Robert Schumann and Jörg Widmann.
Coming after his superb version of Bach's Clavier bien tempéré (Livre I) for the same publisher, this new recording confirms the exceptional stature of a born musician, reaching a melodic pinnacle, and the depth of an endlessly imaginative keyboard. All of Schumann's unsaid words, chiaroscuro daydreams and heartfelt impulses can be experienced here. It’s a journey between exaltation and despair; on the one hand in the very distinct Kreisleriana collection and, on the other, in the rare Geistervariationen, both which seem to explore a whole new world under the fingers of this particularly inspired young man.
Set as a conversation between two masterpieces, the Onze Humoresques, composed by Jörg Widmann in 2007, respond to the tormented world of Schumann with a whimsical spirit. Aaron Pilsan provides a striking interpretation, underlining the extremely strong link between the two German composers who privileged feeling and emotion over their differences in writing and era. © François Hudry/Qobuz
