"Few remember the early dead pianist Dinu Lipatti as a composer. But for the 32-year-old Belgian Julien Libeer he was an inspiration from his youth on. And so he decided to juxtapose the Concertino in the classical style of Haydn and Mozart, written at Lipatti's teenage age - an interesting idea... "
Piano News, 11-4-2019Gouden combinatie
Pianist Libeer en het orkest vormen een gouden combinatie en hebben duidelijk affiniteit met deze muziek. De stukken van de grote componisten zijn enigszins terughoudend van aard, Haydns Symfonie no. 49 La Passione klinkt broeiend maar statig en Mozarts laatste pianoconcert no. 27 is bedrieglijk intiem. Deze twee iconische klassiekers zijn samengevoegd met het vrij onbekende Concertino in the Classical Style, waarin Dino Lipatti een neoklassiek licht werpt op het aloude en eerbiedwaardige idioom. Lipatti's Concertino is hoorbaar schatplichtig aan Bach en Scarlatti, maar er vallen ook zweempjes Stravinsky in de muziek te bekennen, evenals een voorproefje van Bela Bartóks muzikale taal.Oude en nieuwe muziek op oude en nieuwe instrumenten
De samensmelting van oude en nieuwe werelden doet geen afbreuk aan de muziek op dit album. Les Métamorphoses speelt gewoonlijk op moderne instrumenten, weliswaar met het grootst mogelijke respect voor de klanken uit de verschillende eeuwen. Om te zorgen voor een authentieke kleur en frisheid heeft het orkest voor dit programma ook historische houten instrumenten ingezet, als hoorns en dwarsfluiten.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose actual name is Joannes Chrysotomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a composer, pianist, violinist and conductor from the classical period, born in Salzburg. Mozart was a child prodigy. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. Along with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, Mozart is considered to be one of the most influential composers of all of music's history. Within the classical tradition, he was able to develop new musical concepts which left an everlasting impression on all the composers that came after him. Together with Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven he is part of the First Viennese School. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. From 1763 he traveled with his family through all of Europe for three years and from 1769 he traveled to Italy and France with his father Leopold after which he took residence in Paris. On July 3rd, 1778, his mother passed away and after a short stay in Munich with the Weber family, his father urged him to return to Salzburg, where he was once again hired by the Bishop. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death.

Lignes Claires and Lignes Parallèles are not only two beautiful CDs on which Julien Libeer proves himself as a master pianist, together with the beautiful ensemble Les Métamorphoses and conductor Raphaël Feye. They are distinguished by the loving commitment to the composer Dinu Lipatti. Listen to the opening part of the Concertino once and you are sold.

***** - The music remains elegant and sparkling from start to finish, and Libeer clearly has a great affinity with it.
