About

Who said the waltz was frivolous? For this recording dedicated to the genre, Vassilis Varvaresos has concocted a programme that shatters prejudices. Far from 18th-century ballroom dancing, the selected works are filled with sensuality, irony and strength.

It is the fatal side of this musical whirlwind which is highlighted: Liszt and his diabolical waltz; Schumann and his chiaroscuro emotion; the sad elegance of Tchaikovsky; Scriabin and his lush sensuality; Rosenthal's ecstatic freedom on Johann Strauss's themes; and, on the ruins of the past, the poisonous darkness of Ravel's La Valse.

This swirling invitation is an ideal playground for the expressiveness and brilliant virtuosity of the Greek pianist, graduated from the Julliard School and CNSM Paris, winner of George Enescu International Piano Competition in 2014 and Piano Masters Competition in 2015.
