Editor's info
After a first Brahms recital that made a great impression (Alpha 851) and Mozart concertos (Alpha 1039) praised by the press for their naturalness (Gramophone) and fluidity (Le Monde), Jonathan Fournel, winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition at the age of 27 and now an important figure on the international stage, has decided to record a programme that he has already performed extensively in concert: "I like Chopin's 3rd Sonata because the melodic lines don't need any embellishments, they're already beautiful -- in the same way that the Mona Lisa doesn't need any make-up. The same is true for Szymanowski's more virtuoso pieces. Szymanowski is a bit like a Scriabin who developed at full speed and who at times approached the Viennese style. I like that because there's research to be done inside, but it's not virtuosity a la Rachmaninov. What I like about these composers is that every element counts and expresses something."

Gramophone Magazine
Textural and timbral complexities clearly hold no terrors for Fournel, whether in Chopin or Szymanowski, and his decluttering of the latter’s forestations of notes is of the highest class…An impressive disc, then, and one that merits comparison with the finest available, even if ultimately it has to yield the palm to them.
