The internationally acclaimed pianist Adriana von Franqué takes a musical journey through Paris on her GENUIN debut album. The world-concerting musician, known for innovative concert formats and unusual program selections, focuses on the delicate and poetic aspects
of the "City of Lights". With a sensitivity for sound and clarity, she plays music by Lili
Boulanger, César Franck, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Simon Laks from Warsaw. The result is floating, atmospheric, finely crafted music that seems to incorporate the Tuileries Garden, the banks of the Seine, or the intricate lacework of the Eiffel Tower...

"The pianist plays very sensitively, which brings out the subtleties of the recorded works. Above all, however, Adriana von Franqué’s art is rooted in a very natural way of playing, which at the same time keeps the music in an exciting state of suspension.“ Review by Alain Steffen, March 14, 2024
