few words from Nicolas

Our first discovery is dedicated to the forgotten french pioneer ot minimal music : Jean Catoire, who died in total anonymously. 

An extreme low number of musician dared to perform his music on stage. 

Catoire creativity was so great (he composed thousand of music), we decided to record all his solo piano music. You can now liste on 8 volumes to his 32 hours of piano music ! 

This is his 8th & last volume. It is dedicated only to Catoire most extreme piano piece : the Opus 520. 

Unfortunately "only" in its "basic" material form. Its final form is 25 hours long with no stop and there is unfortunately no streaming platform able to handle such a format. 

You will be able to listen to the complete version in my youtube page (link available shortly)
