About
“Alexandre Tharaud’s playing was an inspiration for me throughout the composition of the piece. From the first baroque-style Toccata to the supple, crystalline atmosphere of Anunciación and the vigorous and powerful sounds of Toccata II, my intention in this work was to explore particular interpretative facets that he possesses.
