FROM A REVIEW IN 'LA LIBRE BELGIQUE' (5/5/23 - F.Jongen)
…But the symphony is also concertante in the essential role it leaves to the two solo instruments: the fascinating and mysterious Ondes Martenot (played on Thursday by an expert, the Englishwoman Cynthia Millar, trained by Messiaen's muse Jeanne Loriod), but also the piano, whose role the composer described as "a part of extreme difficulty, destined to 'diamond' the orchestra with brilliant strokes, clusters of chords, birdsong" to the point of making it "almost a piano concerto". A former winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition and Ono's accomplice since the Japanese conductor's time as musical director of La Monnaie, Jan Michiels shows himself to be fabulously precise and energetic, but at the same time he plays with a kind of quiet strength, modest sobriety and aloof elegance. In the end, the enthusiastic audience is on its feet…

‎REVIEW ‎‎CLASSIC‎
Jan the Connector
‎
‎Preludes, Interludes, Postludes‎

‎Passacaglia‎

‎That Jan Michiels is an exceptional performer of modern repertoire, he has proven for more than thirty years on stage and in recordings. To convince us of his abilities, he no longer needs this new album ‎‎Préludes, Interludes, Postludes‎‎. The interpretations of old faithful like Kurtág and Ligeti, but also Debussy and Chopin are again formidable. He honours each composer in his uniqueness: the dreaminess of the ‎‎Préludes‎‎, the menacing frivolity of ‎‎Játékok‎‎, the passionate accentuation of the ‎‎Études‎‎. ‎

‎But the strength of his new CD lies most in the way he weaves Chopin's ‎‎24 Preludes‎‎ as a thread through the three other collections. How he gets a line in this abundance of short piano works. And how, despite their obvious stylistic differences, they seem to grow closer together. It sounds like obvious to bring this foursome together, and that means that Michiels has succeeded in his intention. ‎‎(jc)‎
