This chanson is composed by Cécile Chaminade who was the first female composer to be awarded the French Legion of Honour. Chaminade had a brilliant understanding of the music market. She embraced technology, recording piano rolls for the Aeolian Company from 1908 at the latest, and performing concert duets with her own recordings on pianola. The song Mignonne (Words by Ronsard), is a slow and vivid response to this famous verse, elegant vocal lines and imaginative and demanding piano line In the poem, Ronsard uses the rose as a metaphor for the girl’s youth and beauty, which lasts only a short time. Thus, he advises the girl to live life when her beauty is in full bloom. The listener is reminded of the fragility of life, and invited to live in the moment.

Alive recording 16-02-2025 (Maastricht) Amy Beach (1867-1944) Ah Love but a day is a song based on the poem written by English poet Robert Browning. It is the second song of the set and it outlines a wife’s struggle in a marriage with all its ups and downs. It seems that the wife has already started to be disinterested in her marriage and wonders if, like her and the world around her, her husband will change as well.

Mendelssohn Fantasie op. 28 in F# minor. Known as "Sonate écossaise", because it could have been composed during one of his trips to Scotland. Felix Mendelssohn composed his Fantasie in 3 mouvements following the Beethoven´s idea of his Moonlight sonata, in which each mouvement increases the tempo. Performed by Isabel Rico Repiso live on 24/11/2023. www.isabelricorepiso.com @IsabelRicoMusic Audio recording & video production by Recital Studio, Luc Baiwir.

Claude Debussy ( 1862-1918) With early influences including Russian and far Eastern music, Debussy developed his own style of harmony and orchestral colouring. Debussy dedicated these studies to Chopin. The virtuosity of these studies is presented, as in Chopin's studies, at the service of music and performance. They synthesize all of Debussy's pianistic world. They also carry his rhythmic and sound investigations further and develop their vision and harmonic sense of him. In this sense, Debussy definitively affirms himself as one of the forerunners of 20th century music. This is the first time I performed this Study after only a month of work! Thank you Olivier Tarnus for the recording. Enjoy it! Live concert 9/04/2022 Malonne, Belgium Pianist: Isabel Rico Repiso Website: www.isabelricorepiso.com Insta/Facebook: @IsabelRicoMusic
