Info for Un hiver à Majorque

"Un hiver à Majorque", replaces the Préludes de Chopin in the original context of their creation during a stay of the composer with George Sand at the Chartreuse of Valldemossa.

Aya Okuyama, pianist and pianofortist fond of historical instruments, approaches them on a ancient keyboard, a mythical Pleyel pianino of 1838.

Aya Okuyama, piano

Aya Okuyama
pianist and pianofortist, has a passion for historical instruments, especially those made by Pleyel between 1831 and 1849, during the "Chopin period". She applies herself to finding their "corps sonore" (sounding body) by approaching the game not as the adaptation of the language of the modern piano, but as a re-appropriation of ancient keyboards. By choosing excellent instruments, she rediscovers the original stamp of this great piano maker's choices: lightness of touch, depth and extreme sweetness of tone.

Regularly invited to give recitals and chamber music concerts, Aya plays all over Europe and in Japan.
