Wagner: Extase Maxima

Two original compositions by Wagner, five pieces inspired by his operas, three of them by Tristan und Isolde: Wilhem Latchoumia’s programme forms an edifice at once unique and coherent, of which the artist gives an epic interpretation, full of rich timbres, which will appeal to both Wagnerites and connoisseurs of pianistic rarities.
Wilhem Latchoumia is a highly unusual kind of pianist, equally successful and charismatic in contemporary music and the mainstream repertory. The French musician is known for his skill in devising programmes that venture well off the beaten track and his ability to create a joyful rapport with audiences right from the start. He pursues a brilliant career as a recitalist and concert soloist in France and on the international scene.
