Jean-Baptiste Doulcet
PIANO
“It’s easy to tell from this, his first studio album, that Doulcet is one to watch. Taking us through music by Liszt and Schumann with roots in myths and legends, the pianist weaves a captivating tale at the keyboard. His own composition, Endymion acts as a very fine denouement.”
