About

Florent Schmitt remains one of the most important and influential French composers of the twentieth–century. Although he wrote successfully in almost all forms except opera, he was by training a formidable pianist and his writing for the instrument is colourful, bold and harmonically dextrous.

In the third of this four–disc series, the internationally acclaimed Invencia Piano Duo continues to unearth rare pieces from amongst Schmitt’s extensive output for piano duo and duets. Schmitt was an inveterate traveller and this permeates his poetic and Romantic Feuillets de voyage (Voyage Pages), Op.26 whilst Musiques foraines (Carnival Music) Op.22 reveals Schmitt the festive humourist.

The Invencia Piano Duo has won high critical acclaim for its compelling interpretations of a vast and diverse repertoire. Lutsyshyn was a prize winner at the Vienna Modern Masters International Performers’s Recording Awards Competition and the William Kapell International Piano Competition. Kasparov won the Albert Roussel Prize at the Orléans International Piano Competition and gave the première of Bartók’s Piano Concerto No.3 to great acclaim.
