Vicky Stylianou - Louis Sauter: Les noces de chounette and other works for piano

This new release presents a selection of works for solo piano by French contemporary composer Louis Sauter (b. 1955), recorded by world-class Greek pianist Vicky Stylianou. The highlight of the album is Les Noces de Chounette, a set of 12 pieces in styles ranging from a prelude & fugue to a foxtrot and a samba, all celebrating the composer's wedding to his wife H�l�ne. Also featured are Sauter�s Apophtegmes � a candy box of short miniatures, Vagabondages � a set of pieces depicting locations where the composer lived, the intriguing Umbriel, and the astrophysics-inspired Suite Cosmique. The album concludes with Sauter�s brilliant variations on the Proven�al tune Digo Janeto.
