Chaminade: Piano Music, Vol. 2

The first volume of Cécile Chaminade’s piano music on Piano Classics won the same kind of universal accolades as the rest of Mark Viner’s fast-growing catalogue of albums for the label. The album opens with Ondine, among her most supple and delicately textured tone-poems, and closes with the irrepressibly cheeky Lolita, a ‘caprice espagnol’ worthy of Carmen herself. Further highlights in between include a swaying and sensuous Danse creole and the offbeat, coquettish Guitare . Under Mark Viner’s fingers, Chaminade casts the same spell here as she did over audiences across Europe 150 years ago. 🎵 Purchase or streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Naxos, Presto): 💎 More Information: 🎬🎮 Our music is available for sync licensing in videos, films, tv-shows, games, advertising and more. For more information and to request a license go to: Composer: Cécile Chaminade Artist: Mark Viner (piano) Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944) was a highly successful female pianist and composer. As a pianist she toured the European countries, in 1892 making her debut in England, making acquaintance with one of her biggest fans, Queen Victoria. In 1908 she made her American debut, gaining instant and immense popularity. The reason for Chaminade’s popularity is the charm, tunefulness and general accessibility of her music. It touches a ready chord with every music lover, and the fancy titles and not overly virtuosic piano writing made that her works became drawing room favorites of the epoch. For his second Chaminade disc British pianist Mark Viner chose the Six Concert Studies, substantial and demanding works, Six Pièces humoristiques Op. 87, and some engaging and attractive character pieces: L’Ondine, Danse Créole and the favorite Lolita, Caprice Espagnol, all played with Viner’s unerring feeling for the witty and charming style, pouring out sentiment without being sentimental. 👉 Social media links: Facebook: Spotify: Brilliant Classics: Facebook: Spotify: Instagram: TikTok: Tracklist: 0:00:00 L’Ondine, Op. 101 0:03:21 Pas des echarpes, 3me air de ballet, Op. 37 6 Pièces humoristiques, Op. 87: 0:07:23 I.
