Claude Gosse de Gorre: Piano recital


On Saturday 14th of November, there were about 300 people in the conservatory auditorium in Aurillac for a concert. On stage, there was just one man and his piano: Claude Gosse de Gorre.
A Beethoven sonata opened the recital, a real moment of emotion. Schumann followed Beethoven, but in my opinion (and in Peter’s) this was absolutely boring because it was really too long and too repetitive.
Fortunately, after the interlude, the piano pieces by Gabriel Fauré and Isaac Albeniz enchanted the spectators and Claude Gosse de Gorre absolutely deserved the ovation that the public gave him at the end of the recital.
I think it is important to accept sometimes to see things we are not used to seeing, like, for example, this recital at the conservatory.
