MORT AU PRINTEMPS

IBS Classical 2025. Pieces by Stravinsky, Remacha and Debussy

“Antón and Maite, acting as 21st-century rhapsodists, narrators of sound myths, storytellers of the ancestral, have achieved something miraculous with this album: for a few precious moments stolen from oblivion, the piano sings, moans, and dances again with human soul. To tell uncomfortable and beautiful truths. To breathe the air of the living

“Stravinsky (…) sounds essential, stripped bare, revealing. Everything superfluous, every superficial embellishment, falls away, and what remains exposed is pure rhythmic bone, an immemorial ancestral rite, the architecture of primal instinct, atavistic, telluric brutality that emerges from the depths. At no point do they seek to embellish the original rawness or tame the fierce score: they face it head-on, with a courage that is thrilling, as what it really is, a pagan act of violent fertility, an inescapable ritual sacrifice, an archaic and ruthless choreography of the foundational violence that underlies life itself”

 

Pianist and Conductor Josu de Solaun

“Anton Dolgov and Maite León show themselves willing to take risks and achieve a sensory experience. A dialogue in which both listen and propose, achieving a vital experience” Santi Riu, Segarra

 

“The essence of the album is a sense of fantasy that encourages daydreaming, played with an incredibly sensitive yet virtuosic technique. The performances are brilliant, ingenious, almost perfect representations of Mozart’s four-hand literature. The duo’s performance is elegant with exuberant color and great sensuality.” Luis Suarez. Naxos Spain

 

“A fantastic version, full of strength, combining reason and emotion. Magnificent” Melómano

 

“An album for grown ups, or everyone who wants to feel like one.
