Brandeis, Adrien
Handmade
Adrien Brandeis, pianist and composer, presents HANDMADE, his fifth album, recorded live at Bechstein Hall in Manchester. His music, which is at once joyful, moving and deeply expressive, draws inspiration from the many venues that have marked his international tours: from the legendary La Fenice in Venice to the majestic Teatro Ju rez in Guanajuato, Mexico, via the stages of the Blue Note in Shanghai and Beijing, not forgetting his roots in France, where his artistic identity is firmly anchored. A solo piano programme that stands out from traditional recitals thanks to its strong Latin flavour, presenting a repertoire of original compositions blending rhythmic intensity, groove and improvisation, influenced by Latin and Afro-Caribbean music as well as classical music. Often described as `the most Latin of French pianists' by *Le Monde*, Adrien Brandeis brings a unique energy to the solo piano format, creating a captivating concert experience that naturally appeals to both lovers of improvised music and classical music listeners alike.
