Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt

Few composers possess such a profound sense of secrecy and intimacy. Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt, piano Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt pursued a discreet career, away from the media. When Nicholas Angelich died, people remembered that he had been one of his oldest friends. They listened again to his powerful, warm organ-like playing, broad and majestic, cathedral-like playing. They grew attached to him as a brother of the beloved deceased. For his Sunday morning recital, Jean-Baptiste Fonlupt has chosen Robert Schumann. The one Yves Nat called “a brother of the soul.” The one who, through his fantasy, tenderness, culture and boundless imagination, makes us lighter, more tender, more cultured and more imaginative. Few composers possess such a profound sense of secrecy and intimacy. PROGRAM SCHUMANN Arabesque, Op. 18 Fantasiestücke, Op. 12 Fantasy, Op. 17
