"Poètes du Piano is the perfect description for this beautifully sequenced selection of Romantic piano pieces, a series of exquisite miniatures by the likes of Chopin, Ravel, Fauré and Poulenc, in which delicacy and brevity are prized over the more prosaic charms of full-scale works." The Independent, 18th June 2010 ****
Recorded live at The Granary, Beccles U.K this recital captures Pascal Roge in the repertoire that has earned him the reputation as one of the world's greatest interpreters of Chopin and the French repertoire.
Pascal Rogé is today's greatest ambassador and stylist in French piano music. Winner of two Gramophone Awards, his name is synonymous over many years with the finest in French piano playing, both in concert and on disc for Decca, and now in Debussy for ONYX
