Sharon Chen is a composer of fine piano pieces
and also of instrumental magical creations, here on this brand new EP the
artist has manifested some of her most sumptuous work this far, on this classy
collection called Lettre Pour Toi,
the influence’s ranging from the European classical and more western inspired
short film narratives, are there in a pristine manifestation of tone and
timbre.
The proud opening gift is called Rendezvous du Matin, this is one of the most immaculate tracks I
have heard from Sharon, the presentation on piano is perfect and wonderfully
artistically delicate, the rising energies and note progression gifts the
listener a composition redolent of the subject matter, an morning rendezvous,
in a day filled with hope and anticipation perhaps.
The second offering entitled La Danse de Bebe Cygne, is one of the lightest offerings from the
EP and the performance, but also has its occasionally minor moment as the baby
swan tries to clamber onto land. In English The
Dance of the Baby Swan is one of those tracks that you won’t be able to
leave alone, Chen’s performance is sublime and extremely creative, and if all
truth be told one of the finest I have heard from her.
One composition I grew greatly passionate about was the
following piece called Le Courage
d'aimer {The Courage to Love} In
my view this is Chen at her best, creating emotive patterns on her piano one
after the other, in one of the most heartfelt performances of all time, slower
segments and a delightful coda could all be found here.
Lettre Pour Toi is our concluding offering, with Chen’s
performance on felt piano seemingly utterly timeless, like a panting by Monet, full of colour, a pronounced and
elevated tonal mastery can be found here. This is one of the most ambient
offerings from the artist ever, and quite frankly a piece that I will delight
in playing throughout the decades ahead.
Lettre Pour Toi by Sharon Chen is with ease her best work to date, her presentations
and performance is one of the best, if not the best I have heard from her, in
French I would doubtlessly say, felicitations Sharon, vous avez excellé dans cette belle
nouvelle sortie. In English I salute one of the most creative EP’s I have heard
this year on, Lettre Pour Toi by Sharon Chen.
