Jóhann Jóhannsson: Piano Works

Jóhann Jóhannsson: Piano Works

2026

Chaque œuvre de Jóhann Jóhannsson, dont la vie s’est achevée bien trop tôt, révèle sans filtre les reflets de son âme aussi belle que tendre et mélancolique. Alice Sara Ott s’est rendue en Islande pour enregistrer cet album irréprochable sur un ancien piano droit de Bergur Þórisson, dont le timbre délicat évoque, selon elle, « une nostalgie, comme le souvenir de quelque chose qui n’est plus ». Jóhann Jóhannsson: Piano Works réunit 30 transcriptions de courtes pièces tirées de ses albums solo et de ses musiques de film. La grande concentration du jeu d’Alice Sara Ott crée un espace méditatif intime, renforcé par une prise de son rapprochée et par l’empathie manifeste de l’interprète pour l’homme et sa musique. Savourez une dose enivrante de beauté transcendante dans la séquence d’ouverture exquise et sans ego de « Bað », « Odi et Amo » et « Englabörn », joyaux réinventés issus du premier album studio de Jóhann Jóhannsson, ou dans le sublime « Melodia (III) ».
