Album Notes

Is he classical or is he jazz? Pierre-Yves Plat cannot be classified.
Thanks to his musical sensitivity and his amazing virtuosity, he performs classical tunes magnificently by making Chopin sound like ragtime and adding salsa rhythm to Bach's music...
His malicious improvisations rouse the public who is entirely seduced by his improvisations and the fantasy of his performance.
Bach, Chopin, Beethoven and many more dialogue with another era under the hands of the young virtuoso, who plays with a lot of audacity and humour.

Press extracts : “ …within a few seconds, the room becomes his own
while he manages the trick of alternating from
Chopin's music to Boogie with brio and a peak of
humour.. He reminds us of the Marx Brothers, and
his burlesque interpretation of Bach, Beethoven,
Chopin, and Brahms, mixed up with Latin jazz, gets
enthusiastic applauses from the public…".
Michel Bedin, Jazz hot - 2007

“ He performed in front of a house full of people, who
were very pleased by the performance of this
unequivalented artist [...] He is Unic to the piano’s
universe. Pierre-Yves Plat has seduced his public by
modifying some tunes that belonged to the classical
repertory and adding jazz rhythms to them. Chopin,
Bach, Beethoven are reliving a new youth, thanks to
the audacity and talent under the virtuoso’s hands.”
Le Télégramme – 2006
