Following the much-acclaimed duo CD recorded with her husband Jeremy Menuhin, the pianist Mookie Lee-Menuhin is now presenting her debut GENUIN CD as a soloist. The musician has put together a subtle programme which is characterized by numerous cross-references: Berg's early sonata op. 1, Schubert's extroverted Sonata in D Major, the Romanian Folk Dances by Béla Bartók, and the world premiere recording of Éric Tanguy's Toccata (2006). The works describe dealing with the past and traditions - and the break with these. Mookie Lee-Menuhin presents all this with a sophisticated sound and a gorgeous pianistic touch - a real success!
