Invited to make a new recording for the Sheva Collection, I first thought that with more than 50 records, I had covered all the repertoire I wanted to record. Then a Rachmaninoff prelude that I always loved came to mind. Inspired by this impulse to search for pieces, followed, pieces from Scariabin, Scarlatti, Dutilleux, Lili Boulanger, Cécile Chaminade etc. 

I offer 2 versions of the same work, Domenico Scarlatti's sonata K 27 in B minor, making small improvements or subtle modifications, depending on the inspiration of the moment. These changes are often negligible, but can sometimes, and unexpecticly, lead to a more radical musical interpretation, as was the case with when I recorded this Scarlatti sonata.So it's up to you to appreciate my musical intentions, evident in those two versions, to select which one you prefer or perhaps, as I did, to realize that both of them appeal to you.

Weeks of Ravel and now off to Japan!

Written by Pascal Rogé on 24 October 2018. Posted in Uncategorised

Well, these three weeks have been very exciting indeed, full of Ravel.   First, we flew off to Annapolis, MD, for the opening concert there, titled "Ode to Freedom" with the wonderful Annapolis Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Jose-Luis Novo, playing the Ravel Left Hand Concerto.  From there, we flew directly back to Europe and off to Alsace for Ravel G Major Concerto a week later with yet another fabulous l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Mulhouse in their opening concert, "a l'Aventure", with my friend Maestro Jacques Lacombe.    Apart for the two concerts being the opening season concerts, both orchestras surprised me by their quality of musicianship.  And the conductors.  Jose-Luis Novo has worked with Annapolis Symphony for more than 14 years and he has molded this orchestra in to top-quality orchestra.   Jacques Lacombe, with whom I had the privilege to play already few times, is coming into Mulhouse now for his first season, and is already making a big impact with l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Mulhouse.  What a great time I had in both cities, halfway around the globe apart from each other. 
Then, l'aventure did not end there.  I had planned to be back home for a week to prepare for my tour in Japan, and then on my last evening in Mulhouse, I receive a call for a last minute replacement concert in....South Korea...!  To play the Ravel G Major.  All the last minute plan needed to be made, making last minute change in travel plans, etc.  I flew intwo Seoul Korea, almost right afterwards, landed barely just in time for the rehearsal!  Very exciting experience.  Playing my favorite concerto once again, this time with KBS Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Yoel Levi.  Great times indeed.  Now, off to packing for Japan!  Looking forward to all the concerts there!  The first one with NHK playing Saint-Saens 2!

End of Summer and Beginning of Autumn 2018

Written by Pascal Rogé on 25 August 2018. Posted in Blog

After a very hot summer being on the road with Ami, from Eastbourne, UK, Scotland, French Alps, Nice, and Madrid (and some Switzerland in-between to repack!), the weather is cooling down and we feel the melancholy of summer finally terminating.  However, we have an exciting autumn to look forward to.  As I am on my way to Montevideo, Uruguay now, I am also looking forward to Season Opening Concerts.  One is Anapolis Symphony Orchestra Season Opening concert, in Anapolis, Maryland, playing the Ravel Left Hand Concerto.  Then few weeks later, in Mulhouse France with the l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Mulhouse playing the Ravel Concerto in G Major.  Then a long concert tour in Japan for a month and half, a total of 8 concerts (five solo recitals, three concerto performances, all different programmes) as well as few masterclasses.  It will be an exciting Autumn and Fall, and am looking forward to all the places and concerts!  Please look at my Concert Page for more details! 

New Nocturne CD!

Written by Ami Rogé on 29 March 2018. Posted in Blog

Last year, I had the great privilege of recording some of my favorite repertoire, the Faure Nocturnes. This under the most ideal condition, in Japan with a fabulous team of engineers (Octavia) and a beautiful Yamaha concert grand CX. We are so excited to launch this new CD, "Nocturnes". For those of you who might find all Faure Nocturnes difficult to digest, I have also put in more familiar Chopin Nocturnes as well. I hope you will enjoy the CD, as I have thoroughly enjoyed recording this. More info could be found in the recording category.

Here is a link of the long article about it in Japanese on the Yamaha website.
