Description
Inge Spinette enjoys a double career as both collaborative pianist of renowned singers as well as opera coach at La Monnaie/De Munt. She is also a Professor of Lied at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels and on this new recording is joined by talented soprano Lore Binon. In the 20th century, composers Erik Satie, Francis Poulenc, and John Cage each created a pause in music--a caesura-- by exploring life's contrasts: the noise of the outside world and the quiet of inner reflection. Satie balanced cabaret flair with meditative stillness. Poulenc exposed the cabaret's charm and underlying despair before turning to sacred music. Cage broke with tradition, using experimental simplicity to draw listeners inward and awaken deeper listening.
