Bertrand Richard - Staccato
Review by Joe Black
Staccato, the latest album by Bertrand Richard, is a masterful work of art that showcases the French pianist's virtuosic skills and artistic vision. From the opening notes of the title track, it is clear that Richard is a musician who takes his craft seriously, and is not afraid to push the boundaries of what is possible on the piano.
Throughout the album, Richard displays a remarkable ability to blend classical technique with contemporary influences, creating a sound that is both timeless and modern. Whether he is performing solo or with a small ensemble, his playing is always precise, nuanced, and deeply expressive.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rhapsody," a stunning piece that showcases Richard's ability to create a rich, dynamic sound with just his piano. The piece is both complex and accessible, with a melody that is both haunting and uplifting.
