Les deux mains sur le clavier de son piano, Danaë rêve. Installée de longue date à Los Angeles, la musicienne, née à Bordeaux, entretient la mélancolie de sa terre natale le long de compositions toutes titrées dans la langue de Molière, tout comme le titre de ce disque. Ainsi cet album présente quatre pièces « Fantaisie », « Nocturne », « Petite Valse » et « Prélude » (étrangement placée en clôture) toute déclinées en trois mouvements. Seule au piano, et en instrumentiste accomplie, la musicienne fait corps avec son instrument, devenu une extension de sa personne. Au-delà de la musique, d'obédience classique et néo-romantique, la pianiste nous révèle des sentiments, des émotions au fil de notes, jouées avec maestria où la virtuosité n'est jamais vaine mais est, au contraire, au service du propos. Un album long, dépassant l'heure de musique, qui fait passer l'auditeur par toutes les couleurs, où la musique déferle comme une vague continue. Comme le calme suit la tempête, comme la pluie vient après le beau temps, les moments calmes, d'une beauté éthérée, ménageant une large place au silence, suivent un déferlement de notes orageuses jouées avec célérité. Un magnifique effort que l'en prend plaisir à écouter le soir, pour se détendre en fin de journée.

TRILOGIES Album Notes: Award-winning composer and pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse offers a collection of new works for piano in the style of the great 19th century Romantic tradition. Each type of piece seeks a different sort of experience, from feeling simple moments of quiet pleasure to great prolonged adventures full of contrasting moods. The three “Fantaisies” are grandest in scope and tell epic stories of emotional battles such as succumbing to madness, facing the unknown, defying death and overcoming great internal obstacles. The “Nocturnes” seek to explore different night-time landscapes; some are quite serene while others are more imposing. The “Petite Valses” were all conceived as little lullabies. And finally the three “Préludes” celebrate scenes of daily life, each one inspired by a different mood.
Danaë Xanthe Vlasse has been praised by critics and audiences for her neo-Romantic writing, which has been described as “a current of old-world tension and modern angst.” Critics have also praised her patient and regimented approach to composition as “crafted with absolute depth and emotional presence.” Mrs. Vlasse’s native France is a clear influence in her harmonic language and melodic ideas, while her Greek heritage guides her Classical approach to structure with balanced form and carefully measured phrases. Mrs. Vlasse lives in Los Angeles, where she is engaged in music-making with the finest musicians of Southern California, and she also collaborates with musicians and other composers from all over the world.
