“The way into Schubert’s world is full of twists and turns… A lengthy progress towards what I’ve always thought to be the ultimate expression of the lightness of being … For me, playing Schubert is the culmination of a voyage of self-discovery … You’re plunged into the same self-doubt, experience the same joy he did. I can find my self in this intimate exchange.
Each one of his eight Impromptus is, in its own way, a microcosm of the Schubertian world, an echo of the Vienna that was so dear to him. For me, they are an inner-journey that consumes every waking hour, strips my soul bare and fuses all those hopes and uncertainties into one. I lose myself in them and can see myself more clearly as a result.
To me, that’s the very essence of the impromptus: an act of abandonment that calls life itself into question and gives proof to the brilliance of Schubert’s genius in all its intricate and astonishing complexity.” -François Chaplin

» … […] Jeu lumineux, bien articulé, tempéré dans les contrastes et agréable dans sa sonorité. […] L’éloquence équilibrée de François Chaplin laisse simplement s’exprimer le lyrisme de ces poèmes musicaux […] Cette lecture au charme discret suffit à nous tenir en haleine. En complément, François Chaplin propose la transcription par Liszt du lied Litanei, si chère à Alfred Cortot, dont il fait impeccablement ressortir la tendre gravité. « Jérôme Bastianelli, Diapason
