_____________________

More than a strict panorama of a period, Joseph Moog shares with us a sentimental state of mind, his nostalgia for an era full of creativity and intellectual exuberance, which, in a time of growing political, social and economic tensions, brought all areas of art, and naturally music, to an unprecedented peak.

The German pianist discovered the freedom and spirit of adventure that floated in the air at the turn of the 20th century during the intense weekends of his younger age when his parents used to meet friends and discuss scores, recordings and videos of all sorts of works and performances. He resurrects here the inspiring atmosphere that, as a child, awakened his musical curiosity.
