PIANISTIC PYROTECHNICS

ORFORD SIX PIANOS
Olivier GODIN

Sandra MURRAY
Mariane PATENAUDE
Francis PERRON
Lorraine PRIEUR

Well-known musical compositions played like you’ve never heard them before! 6 pianists, 12 hands, 60 fingers and 528 keys, all in pursuit of a single purpose, the love of music. Outstanding pianists play arrangements of beloved classics like Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre.
“Equally impressive – and what an impression! – they alternated between six pianos at a time in Rossini, Smetana, Saint-Saëns, Prokofiev and Gershwin, and four pianos in double duets for Gounod and Bizet. Familiar works took on a brilliantly new perspective but subtlety also had its place. One should note also the incredible synchronizing of sixty fingers and the evenness with which well-known thematic material passed from one instrument to another.” (La Presse)
