Neoclassical piano lovers, fans of Stréliski, Blais, Gonzales and Sofiane Pamart, if you haven’t yet traveled to the musical universe of Martin Lizotte, it’s time to listen. The pianist, keyboardist and composer, winner of the Félix for the instrumental album in 2018, accompanist of Martin Léon, Daniel Bélanger, Jean Leloup and Robert Charlebois, launches his third album. Sfumato, disc with a delicious slowness, will take you away from the little hassles. The 13 pieces parade, summoning the musical saw for a waltz, the clarinets for a bit of mystery, the softness of transverse flutes… The guest musicians levitate with Lizotte, knitting atmospheres that promote a serene state, induce a soft trance from which one emerges amused, lighter. Is this the musical score of a tightrope walker’s dream, tunes composed for the Jellyfish Ball or for the gliding flight of a Grand Duke ? Quilted music, haunting, so that at the end we float, as if coming out of a dream, in a state of calm that makes you want to go back there immediately. The disc that will allow you to go to the end of winter.
