A new record from François Mardirossian always guarantees new explorations into the work of unusual composers. After his outstanding 2022 recording of Philip Glass’ 20 Études, the French pianist then enjoyed venturing off into the music of Alan Hovhaness as well as that of Satie and other composers who sought to channel his Gymnopédies. After taking a deep dive into minimalism for his 2023 album Pianisphère (for the label SOOND), François Mardirossian has returned to his first love with a new album devoted to Moondog (1916-1999), one of the strangest and most provocative figures in 20th-century American music. He had already devoted his first CD (Megadisc Classics, 2019) to this blind composer who used to be found wandering the streets of Manhattan wearing a Viking helmet. Drawing inspiration from all over, Moondog left behind a large body of work influenced by jazz, Western classical music, and the indigenous musical traditions of North and South America alike. François Mardirossian excels at breathing life back into the miniatures composed by this one-of-a-kind “cosmic bum,” which he imbues with melancholy and tenderness in equal measure. © François Hudry/Qobuz
