About

A student of Franck, Vincent d’Indy founded the Schola Cantorum de Paris where he taught for many years. He was also a conductor, with a busy schedule of international touring. His compositions were permeated by the influence of Wagner – he attended the premiere of the Ring cycle – but in time he also absorbed the influence of French folk music, especially from the Vivarais, his ancestral home.

Vincent d’Indy’s large-scale Piano Sonata is one of a small but masterful sequence of non-programmatic instrumental works that he wrote in the first decade of the 20th century. Notable for a novel application of variation form in its opening movement it fuses experimentation with expressive power. Poetic atmospheres and landscapes are evoked in the Tableaux de voyage, postcards of his walks in Germany.

Jean-Pierre Armengaud has pursued a particularly rich international career as a pianist and concert-performer, notable for the extent of his repertoire, by the number of countries to which he has been invited and the importance of his recordings which include five highly acclaimed editions of the complete works of French and Russian composers. A pupil of Yves Nat and Jacques Février, and of the Russian Stanislav Neuhaus, Armengaud is today acknowledged as one of the great interpreters of French music from Rameau to Henri Dutilleux. His many recordings of piano music have been critically lauded. Jean- Pierre Armengaud is also a distinguished scholar and teacher in universities and in masterclasses at major Conservatoires.
