‘At last, something genuinely new.’ It was in these terms that Ferruccio Busoni greeted the publication in 1908 of the 14 Bagatelles, in which Béla Bartók conveyed the violent aesthetic impact of his discovery of authentic Hungarian peasant music. Over the next 20 years, up to the magisterial Sonata of 1926, he indefatigably refined an innovative pianistic language – pungent, dissonant, percussive, with multiple new playing techniques – that was to influence the entire 20th century. A master of every style, from Haydn to Boulez by way of Chopin and Chabrier, Alain Planès stands revealed here as a Bartókian of the front rank.

“Enfin quelque chose de vraiment nouveau.” C’est en ces termes que Ferruccio Busoni salue la parution en 1908 des 14 Bagatelles, dans lesquelles Béla Bartók transmet le violent choc esthétique que représente pour lui la découverte de l’authentique musique paysanne hongroise. Dans les 20 ans qui vont suivre, jusqu’à la magistrale Sonate de 1926, il n’aura de cesse d’affiner un nouveau langage pianistique – âpre, dissonant, percussif, aux multiples modes de jeu –, qui marquera tout le xxe siècle. Maître de tous les styles, de Haydn à Boulez en passant par Chopin ou Chabrier, Alain Planès se révèle ici en Bartókien de tout premier plan.

"Endlich etwas wirklich Neues" – mit diesen Worten begrüßte Ferruccio Busoni die Veröffentlichung der 14 Bagatellen im Jahre 1908, in denen Béla Bartók den gewaltigen ästhetischen Schock verarbeitet, den die Entdeckung der echten ungarischen Bauernmusik bei ihm ausgelöst hatte. In den nächsten 20 Jahren, bis hin zur meisterhaften Sonate von 1926, wird er unermüdlich die Verfeinerung seiner innovativen Klaviersprache vorantreiben, die – schroff, dissonant, perkussiv, in unterschiedlichen Spieltechniken – das gesamte 20. Jahrhundert beeinflussen sollte. Alain Planès, ein Meister aller Stile von Haydn über Chopin und Chabrier bis zu Boulez, erweist sich hier als ein Bartókianer ersten Ranges.
