About Lucas' recital at the Festival Pianistico Bartolomeo Cristofori in Padova by Paolo Locatelli.
👉 English extract from the review: "The program he played in the Hall of Giants in Padova was called “Music and poetry”. It would have been hard to find a better expression for it, even if Debargue’s universe seems not just that mild and lyrical and he is more drawn into sinful Baudelaire-type poetry.
Debargue's technique and control is exceptional - which is, of course, a given for today's soloists - but it’s not only that. He approaches the keyboard with a brutal, abrupt momentum, almost with violent passion. He is not looking for tenderness or beauty, or at least not only that - he is looking for actuality. It's electric, vital pianism, not a respectable high-level performance - although to play a program like this - three bravura pieces in a row after Mozart's Sonata in A minor K 310, which gives chills, the pianism must be high-level. Chopin Ballade No 2 op 38, Prelude op 45 and Polonaise-Fantasie op 61, followed by Ravel's “Gaspard de la Nuit” and Franz Liszt's “Après une lecture du Dante - Fantasia quasi Sonata”. It was like earthquake that held the old Steinway in its grip with a precision and fluidity that drove the audience crazy."

Amazing musician with poet's heart ❤
About Lucas' recital at the LausitzFestival in Germany.
English summary:
"The Fürst Pückler Palace with park in Bad Muskau would have deserved a trip in itself. The performance of pianist Lucas Debargue justified to the highest degree to go there (and late return) - like few pianists, the Frenchman knows how to turn a recital into a special evening. The artistic director of festival, Daniel Kühnel presented him as a thinker; in spite of his young age, he is a skilful, open-minded and creative artist who places his works to the special “frames”, one might almost say - to a new dimension, which creates new links and builds exciting bridges.
And he is one of them who dares to play Mozart. While many pianists tend to turn to the more effective late piano concertos and leave out this sonatas, which seem not so complex, Lucas Debargue put just such a sonata at the beginning of his programme - A Minor, K 310, the famous work Mozart wrote during his journey to Paris shortly before his mother died. (---) It was impressive and enchanting how Lucas Debargue did not not put a "stamp" on the work, he was leaving it free, but still had individual interpretation with variable tempi. And he likes it boldly, which was immediately clear with the acciaccaturas in the beginning of the first movement. Lucas Debargue did not only sharpen the contours between rebellion and despair there but he also searched for sound, explored space. In this way, he created a whole which brought together all the contradictions. Second movement was intimate although there was also a certain liveliness inside. In the Presto, the pianist turned it dramatical almost like “Erlkönig”.
The transition to Frédéric Chopin came naturally, almost logically. The second ballade seemed to pick up there where Mozart left off in the second movement of his sonata - perhaps drawing a portrait of his mother there. Here too, a tumultuously fast movement followed, but very clearly articulated. He does nothing for just an effect: he gave every note, every change meaning.
Chopin's Prelude in C-sharp Minor, op 45 is in a freer form, it seemed to float and offered a calming effect, before the Polonaise-Fantasy in A-flat Major op 61 again showed the extent of Debargue's creative reach: from deep (spiritual) relaxation to passionate upward striving. Everything seemed to happen in that moment, for that piano and that room. It would be fascinating to experience Lucas Debargue with the same work in another concert, and one must assume that his interpretation is so individual that two performances of the same work are certainly not similar (without any contradiction).
Anyone who dares to play like this, has to be open-minded, willing to take risks. Openness starts with the instrument. There was indeed a Steinway & Sons, model D. Intendant Daniel Kühnel provided information during the interval: it was not a conventional piano model, but a piano from one of the concert piano workshops (Klangmanufaktur) in Hamburg. There, a few enthusiasts (or 'crazies') work on the pianos, removing what is not needed, freeing up the soundboard - all in the search of that sound. The sound changes, not fundamentally, but gets stronger in the brighter tones, allows for more sharpness - fitting for someone with the creative will and courage like Lucas Debargue.
Maurice Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit" is not often a main work in a recital – here it became a highlight. (---)
You can rarely experience how the nuances of dynamics and modulations are not theoretical, but meaningful and connected to the work. So even Franz Liszt's unbridled, complex “Après une lecture du Dante - Fantasia quasi Sonata” grew into a portrayal of ambivalent worlds, combining a sensual dream with a fast-paced march.
With two sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, Lucas Debargue bid the audience 'au revoir' - hopefully only temporarily!"

Brilliant review! Unique interpretations are Lucas Debargue’s trait! And excellent program every time, endless encores are expected.Thank you.
BRAVO Lucas !!!!! Et sincères félicitations 😍😍😍
tout simplement génial! Thank you for being part of the Lausitz Festival!
Ein musikalisch äußerst kreativer Ausnahmepianist, vielleicht vergleichbar mit Radu Lupu und Piotr Anderszewski.
Brilliant musician always open-minded with a very interesting program....
Can’t wait to meet Mr. Debargue at Carnegie- hall November, 5 !!
14 September at the LausitzFestival.

Lucas Debargue so happy to welcome you soon in Bordeaux at L'esprit du piano festival with Opéra National de Bordeaux on next november 17th
The reminder was set on medici.tv long ago. Thank you. Looking forward to.
C'est quoi cette moitié de concert avec des oeuvres charcutées et coupées en plein milieu ? Très déçu et je ne m'abonnerais sûrement pas à Médicis.
Very upsetting program cuts!😢
Ven a México ❤️❤️
Et la prise de son est horrible ! Je ne reconnais pas la merveilleuse sonorité de Debargue. Un échec sur toute la ligne. Mieux vaut ne rien faire que les faire à moitié ...
Lucas is tonight with recital in Padova at the Festival Pianistico Bartolomeo Cristofori.

English summary:
We went to a concert with him, we discussed with him, we exchanged all sorts of ideas, and not only about music, where he is inexhaustible. Literature, philosophy, everything that touches the world: Debargue follows a path with many possible trajectories, for which concerts are a fascinating anchor point, for others but also for him.
Let's start with the music. In Theatre des Terrasses in Gordes we went up to the mountain and Debargue, like a true hiker, walked lightly in front of us when we rested a bit. The evening was hot, even stormy... and the concert was in the open air, which could have meant even cancelling it. Luckily the clouds parted, the audience arrived and Debargue told them about his program - Debargue's concert programs are always carefully constructed. The program was built around Liszt, with the theme of the “orchestral piano”, it showed what Liszt did with the piano, and what the other composers did, who have followed the Hungarian master in their own way.
.
First there was César Franck's organ work, Fantaisie in A minor, arranged by Debargue himself. [---] Then “Gaspard de la nuit”. Debargue has often spoken of the dark side of Ravel, which too often lingers behind the image of the 'Swiss watchmaker' where everything is under control. Ravel is bold, sometimes brutally direct, curious; in some of his works there is a desperate darkness that can be discovered if we strip it bare. Waltz, Concerto for the left hand, also Bolero with its automatic repetitions. And now “Gaspard de la nuit”, culminating in “Scarbo”, the evil gnome [---] And when we ask Debargue, how he manages that repeating note in “Le Gibet” (which is like swaying of the bedded man), the note what is like Lady Macbeth's indelible red stain, he replies: "According to my mood”.
That's what's so fascinating about Debargue: depending on his mood, but never simply on joy or whim. He tries other ways, wherever they lead. So, at the end of “Scarbo” we hear very clearly that gnome has left the city, but Debargue leaves us with the sense that he has set the city on the fire.
In Liszt Sonata “Après une lecture de Dante” (“After reading Dante”), Debargue plays with terrifying visions of the “Divine Comedy”, next to which Delacroix's painting “La Barque de Dante” (“Dante's Boat”) is a calm contemplation. It's a furious reading, with a magnificent, truly orchestral piano, where you really do 'leave all hope', as Dante said in his work. [---]
Triumphant applause follows. We're in the middle of an enthusiastic group who asked the pianist for an encore. [---]
And when we asked him in his “troglodyte” dressing room (those Gordes cliffs have a very peculiar shape) if he felt tired, he said in a quiet voice: “I would have continued”. So would the audience.
Where does it go from here? Exploring the enigma of Fauré [---] The richness of the counterpoint, the bass lines, the flow of music into which contrasts must be created - all that make Fauré a mystery that few pianists take on. But we understand that enigmas fascinate Debargue.
There is also the opera that Gidon Kremer commissioned from him. He has friendship with famous Latvian violinist, the commission is already few years old, but for Debargue who is not even 32, the question is undoubtedly: am I mature enough? He answers: The process is very slow for me with this project. Maybe because it is very close to my heart.
Questions about art, with a capital A, about the relationship between the arts are important and sensitive for Debargue, who is a big reader (including contemporary American philosophers). But a conversation with Debargue (who, after returning from Gordes, initiates a lengthy discussion of Scarlatti with Pierre Hantaï and another clavecinist) is always surprising, because it always reflects a shifting way of thinking.
Debate feeds him and if the argument is sound, he is ready to hear it (maybe not to accept, there are limits!) He eagerly joins the debate on the metaphysics of the artist. Discussions grow long, Debargue's lecture to the audience after the concert would delight many.
[---] He says: Being a musician is a vocation. It is not for the chosen few but for them who choose it voluntarily. Moreover, it is not right to say that an artist has talent. An artist IS or IS NOT in his art. We could also have gone on to talk about elitism in the art and how we don't really do much to reduce it.
On the way back, in the Provence night, we talked about Berl and Bernanos, perhaps about grace, which is not only a matter of religion. There was a strange peace under the starry sky, much more peaceful than that of Van Gogh. We left him with Scarlatti and Hantaï. And yet we asked him the question: What's your next project? - To get my driving license.
Back to the earth.

Fantastic...magical musician....
A la fin du récital de Lucas Debargue ce mardi à Verbier, j’ai entendu un spectateur faire ce commentaire à sa compagne : « Pour moi, c’est le plus russe des musiciens de ce festival ». Je suis assez d’accord avec ce Monsieur, quand bien même Pletnev, Kissin et Trifonov étaient présents à cette même édition.
Hiking moments in Verbier !
Profitez bien tous deux !!!!!!
Dans cette position, il faut surtout garder l'équilibre. Bon courage !
Quelle beauté ! 👍🤗

These mountains look just like ones near Zfat! Possibly, it hints music to be "Zohar" of the Third Millennium?
Great! Be careful! On “B” - for beautiful.
So wonderful pictures....
