Brad Mehldau

Seeing Brad Mehldau in concert means feeling him fully inhabit a place. His music fills the space, the hearts, the minds. The pianist who, for 30 years, has been the most creative and the most delicate of pianists makes a stop at the Théâtre de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines: a privilege. Brad Mehldau is a creator. The unique atmosphere of his concerts immediately brings the listener to a state of total attentiveness and communion. With 14 Rêveries, Brad Mehldau invites us to introspection, to withdraw from the world. Conducive to meditation, his short pieces bring forth tumbling waves of emotion, and it matters that we let them overwhelm us. Just as it matters, for the composer, to let the interpreter run free, as in those pieces which, for some, contain no bar lines. In the momentum of the album Suite: April 2020, written during lockdown and whose pieces each paired a particular moment with a feeling, these Rêveries celebrate the absolute freedom of sensations: for the one who plays as much as for the one who listens.
