When Do We Dance / Various- When Do We Dance (CD)
Four years after her boundary-breaking album Bach Unlimited, pianist Lise de la Salle presents an extremely personal odyssey inspired by her love of the dance and her fascination with the period 1850 to 1950. More than just a question, Lise de la Salle's 'when do we dance?' is an invitation to a voyage, 'one that explores the different ways in which dance takes possession of the body'. A voyage in time, through a whole century (1850-1950) with the accent on modernity; a voyage over the oceans, from North America to Eastern Europe, crisscrossing Argentina, Spain, France, Hungary and Russia; a voyage to the very core of rhythm, that essential anchor point for the dance as for music in general, that enlivens the ragtimes of Gershwin and Bolcom, Bartók's folk dances, a waltz by Saint-Saëns and a tango by Stravinsky.
