About

Guillaume Coppola continues his original and personal journey with Schubert - Schubert treasures, not well known and rarely played. At first glance these short dances do not amount to much but actually they are the essence of Schubert in delicious miniatures. By contrast, the Sonata in A minor D537 is a journey of 25 minutes in a maze of complex feelings and contradictory states of mind. A romantic drama contained in a three-movement architecture.

Finally, the Hungarian melody completes Guillaume Coppola's programme in a very personal vision. A programme that is both rich and varied, showing opposite and complementary facets of Schubert.

Guillaume Coppola's ability to choose and follow his own path has charmed and fascinated audiences ever since his arrival on the music scene. His CD "Franz Liszt - a portrait" was acclaimed by the media: Diapason d'or (magazine Diapason, ffff (Télérama), Selection 2009 (Le Monde), Coup de coeur (Académie Charles Cros) etc. In 2011, the magazine Classica named him as the one of the 10 stars of tomorrow, and in 2011 BBC Music Magazine described his playing, in an "impressive recital, as scintillating, enigmatic and stunning".

After that, everyone expected him to continue in the great Romantic repertoire, but he sprang a surprise with an album devoted to Granados, 'Danzas espanolas', which was again unanimously applauded. "Maestro" from the magazine Pianiste, "Soleil" from Musikzen, high ratings in Diapason and Classica, etc. In a portrait entitled "un piano de soleil", the critic for La Croix wrote: "Like a second film for a film maker or a second book for a writer, a second CD is particularly important in a musician's career. And this young pianist passes the test with flying colours! His second recording is overflowing with the same beneficial poetic clarity already noted in his first CD - a masterpiece - devoted to Franz Liszt."
