Discover Emilie Capulet's double album recording of the complete solo piano works of French composer Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) on the Calliope label!
Tomasi once said:
"music that doesn't come from the heart isn't music".
Be the first to hear Tomasi's beautiful piano pieces, composed for the most part in the 1920s and 1930s, rich in colour, drama and soaring lyricism. Tomasi’s piano music is full of passion, tenderness, humour and virtuosity and offers a stunning kaleidoscope of emotions.
Tomasi is well known for his symphonic and concerto repertoire. His solo piano works, neglected until now, are a true discovery. Finding much of his early inspiration in his Mediter- ranean roots and in the lyrical essence of Corsican song, Tomasi began his career as a talented classical and jazz improviser with a flair for musical drama, having played the piano for the first silent films in the cinemas of Marseille and Paris. These qualities were to determine his unique place in the history of music. His subsequent career as one of France’s leading orchestral conductors and film music com- posers helped further shape his musical thought and style.
