JONGEN, REGER & SCRIABIN: DIVERGENCES
The young German pianist presents rather rare pages of this repertoire; of which he is both guide and adamant champion. “Jongen; Reger and Scriabin were born in the same period; but not in the same space of time”; writes Etienne Barillier in the introductory booklet. “It would no doubt be rather simplistic to oppose them in the way that " French spirit "; " German soul " and " Russian mysticism " are opposed; yet each universe of sound is a total contrast; and fed by the genius of their own individual musical traditions.”
Joseph Jongen (1873-1953) is Belgian and bathes in the inheritance of the great French masters of the turn of the century - Franck; Fauré; Chausson; Ravel; Debussy. A perfect disciple of Johann-Sebastian Bach; Max Reger also owes a lot to Johannes Brahms – an often-forgotten fact – as well as to Schumann and Chopin. As for Alexander Scriabin; he does not fit into any category.
“His music aims ever more explicitly to express both pure desire and pure sound: on the one hand there is the formidable; continuous and vertiginous unfurling of Tristan's theme of desire; with its obsessive rising figures; its constantly broken; yet constantly repeated surge; its appeasement in death. On the other hand; there appears an increasingly attentive meditation; ever more ecstatic; on the very mystery of sound; in its abstract purity”. Which is in total agreement with Joseph Moog’s interpretation.
What an ascent! In 2006; Joseph Moog won the Marguerite Dütschler Prize at the Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad festival and; as a result; recorded Liszt’s two Concertos and his Danse Macabre. A promising start with Claves; which led to a highly successful solo album two years later: “Metamorphonse(n)”. A tribute to a virtuosity that is full of finesse; today reaching a new solo recital; dedicated to the most contrasting worlds of the first half of the 20th century.
