After winning the First Prize in the Concours d'Aide aux Jeunes Artistes organised by the Festival du Vexin in 2022, Diana Cooper has been offered the opportunity to record her very first CD, which will feature works by Chopin and Ravel. It is precisely these two composers that she has chosen to present to us today, with the Sonata No. 3 of the first-named (and its Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise brillante, a spellbinding page if there ever was one) and the wonderfully impressionistic Miroirs of the second-named.

Frédéric Chopin: Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op. 58
Maurice Ravel: Miroirs - I Noctuelles, II Oiseaux tristes, III Une barque sur l'océan, VI Alborada del gracioso, V La vallée des cloches
Frédéric Chopin: Andante spianato and Grande polonaise brillante, Op. 22
