L´heure bleue : Storm

”L´heure bleue” immediately catches the listener’s attention with its dark introduction, contrasted with enticing treble trills. The dark character develops into lyrical outbursts and resting chords, and the entire register of the piano is allowed to flourish. The title “the blue hour” aptly describes the mood of dusk, where the last glimmers of sunlight finally give way to a dramatic conclusion. (Pianist Franciska Skoogh)
