ANTOINE PRÉAT PLAYS BEETHOVEN PIANO SONATA NO. 31 OP.110 - EP RELEASING ON 19 JUNE

10/6/2020

Ulysses Arts introduces Franco-Belgian pianist Antoine Préat's debut recording of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.31 in A-flat Major, Op.110 on Friday 19 June on ITunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz, and all other major streaming services.

The Beethoven release precedes Antoine Préat's full album 'Polyphony', also including works by J.S. Bach, Chopin and Scriabin, to be launched on 15 January 2021. Antoine comments:


'Born into a Baroque-fanatic family in Paris, I grew up immersed in the sound of the 'cello and harpsichord.  I have always been intruiged by polyphonic music, with deep emotion contained within a perfectly assembled puzzle.  I decided to dedicate my debut album to this theme, with the Beethoven as a preview. A deaf Beethoven produced this gem of virtuous wisdom, tragedy and vulnerability, culminating in an amazing fugue. It is a testament to an incredible craftsman, an honest poet and a philosopher in music.'

Described as 'one of the most gifted artists of the younger generation' and 'a young artist with a distinctive voice', Antoine Préat made his orchestral debut aged 17 playing Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto. He has performed at the Salle Cortot, Salle Gaveau and Beaux Arts Museum in Paris, Thayer Hall in Los Angeles, Freydrick Chopin Institute, Warsaw and the Wigmore Hall, London. His performances have been broadcasted by the BBC and France Musique.

Antoine studied at the Ecole Normale de Musique Alfred Cortot in Paris and at the Royal Academy of Music, London, with Tatiana Sarkissova, winning the Colin Murray Award, Vivian Langrish Award and Bache Fund Award, where he is now a postgraduate student with Christopher Elton.

Décrit comme "un jeune artiste doté d'une voix particulière", Antoine Préat se distingue par des débuts très prometteurs en tant que soliste et chambriste.

Né en août 1997, ce pianiste franco-belge débute l'apprentissage du piano à l'âge de 9 ans à Paris. Un an plus tard, il joue en public pour la première fois Salle Gaveau.
​
Antoine fait ses débuts avec orchestre à 17ans, jouant le deuxième concerto de Rachmaninov avec l'Orchestre d'Alicante, et se produit régulièrement en tant que soliste avec des orchestres tels que le London Student Orchestra, le Tonerl Chamber Orchestra, les Sainsbury Soloists, l'orchestre de l'Académie Royale et le Resonate Chamber Ensemble. Il est invité à se produire dans différents festivals tels que le Festival Chopin à Nohant, Chopin à Bagatelle, les Concerts d'Esther, Marathon Chopin (pour son bicentenaire), les Nuits du piano à Paris, Jeunes talents, et l'Encuentro de Santander. Il se produit régulièrement en tant que soliste et en musique de chambre à travers la France ainsi qu'en Europe et aux Etats Unis, dans des salles telles que le Wigmore Hall, la Salle Cortot, la Salle Gaveau, l'Equinoxe, Schloss Glienicke, l'Institut Frederyk Chopin et le Petit Palais.  

Formé au CNR de Paris puis à l'École Normale Alfred Cortot, d'où il sortira diplômé à l'unanimité à 17 ans, il a notamment été élève de deux héritiers de l'Ecole Russe : Guigla Katsarava, élève de Lev Naumov, et Ludmila Berlinskaia, "protégée" de Sviatoslav Richter.

Marqué par cet enseignement russe, Antoine a choisi de poursuivre sa formation à la Royal Academy of Music de Londres, dans la classe de Tatiana Sarkissova où il a reçu le Colin Murray Award et le Vivian Langrish Award après avoir obtenu les plus hauts résultats de l’institution, et termine actuellement son Master auprès de Christopher Elton.
