VARIOUS COMPOSERS
"After Dark": A Midnight Fantasia
Pierre Gallon

[ Harmonia Mundi / CD ]

Release Date: Friday 27 February 2026

This item is only available to us via Special Import.

Pierre Gallon's new programme portrays a night of music, hovering between fantasies and poetic dreams of the English Renaissance. His keyboards - harpsichords, a virginal and a toy piano - create a mosaic of nocturnal visions, interspersed with the fantastic and unexpected. As a contemporary counterpoint, Bernard Foccroulle's Night (2023) reveals the light of a new dawn.
