Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt
Few composers possess such a highly developed sense of secrecy and intimacy.
About this event
Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt, piano
Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt led a discreet career, away from the media spotlight. When Nicholas Angelich died, people remembered that he had been one of his oldest friends. They listened again to his powerful, warm, expansive and majestic playing—the playing of a cathedral. They grew attached to him like a brother of their beloved departed friend. For his Sunday morning recital, Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt has fittingly chosen Robert Schumann. The composer Yves Nat called “a brother of the soul.” The one whose fantasy, tenderness, culture and overflowing imagination make us lighter, more tender, more cultivated and more imaginative. Few composers possess such a highly developed sense of secrecy and intimacy.
