He now records his first solo album, accompanied by the pianist Jorge González Buajasan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents the works of two female and three male composers, beginning with \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Schumann\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Three Romances, a masterpiece of chamber music with oboe, which Gabriel Pidoux has decided to juxtapose with the Three Pieces of \u003cstrong\u003eLeopold Wallner\u003c\/strong\u003e (1847-1913), magnificent works which have never been recorded. Also on the program is a transcription of \u003cstrong\u003eClara Schumann\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Three Romances. ‘These are pieces from the heart, which set the Romantic tone’, writes Gabriel Pidoux. ‘We follow them with the Poème of \u003cstrong\u003eMarina Dranishnikova\u003c\/strong\u003e (1929-94), the only known piece by this Russian composer. It is a rather dark, very tormented piece, wholly Romantic although composed somewhat later, in the middle of the twentieth century.’ Finally, a transcription of \u003cstrong\u003eEdward Elgar\u003c\/strong\u003e’s famous Salut d’amour rounds off the program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49309962764568,"sku":"3760014197895","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4057288-2802481.jpg?v=1777732675","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/romance-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
