Description

Again evoking his time as a student at the Paris Conservatoire, Canadian pianist Alain Lefèvre releases a second album of French music. Paris Memories, which follows My Paris Years, comprises music by Franck, Debussy and the man who taught Alain Lefèvre composition: Pierre Max Dubois. A pupil of the prolific and multi-faceted Darius Milhaud, Dubois (1930-1995) wrote music that is full of spirit and wit. Paris Memories culminates in a four-movement piano sonata by Dubois, composed in 1984 and dedicated to none other than Alain Lefèvre. "While a student at the Paris Conservatoire I had memorable encounters with great figures in the world of music," says the pianist. "Of particular significance was the opportunity to get to know my teacher Pierre Max Dubois, and I'm profoundly moved to have finally been able to record his piano sonata."
