Paul Montag - Pour le piano... (2018)

"We discovered Paul Montag with a very ambitious disc of Paul Hindemith's piano works... He is now offering us a Debussy disc "Pour le piano"... We feel a real love for this music, a real companionship in the time with the poetic universe of Debussy… We dance a lot; we will appreciate the accuracy of the tempi chosen by the pianist; the frankness of the tone. He is a frank, direct, endearing Debussy but never convoluted or unnecessarily mysterious. Paul Montag seems to tell us that Claude Debussy can be the musician of immediate evidence, of fleeting pleasure and even of amusement and I must say that it is the same thing that one feels listening to this disc : the same clarity, the same pleasure throughout the listening. We feel good; it's bright!" Rodolphe BRUNEAU-BOULMIER On track – France Musique April 06, 2018.
