Marianne Trudel solo

Marianne Trudel: piano, compositions, improvisations

Released on September 12, 2004

Marianne Trudel offers a rich quilt of sonic colours seemlessly stitched together with a keen sense of compositional design and deft improvisational gestures. Drawing equally on the classical, jazz and free improv idioms, she cleverly balances these influences out on a razor’s edge.

Press

  • “The melodies are creative and luscious. To be shared with everyone.”— Gabriel Bélanger, SOCAN, Paroles & Musique (Québec, Canada, 2005)

    : « La jeune Marianne Trudel possède une expérience et une maîtrise de son instrument peu communes. Elle a, entre autres, eu la chance et bien sûr le talent d’accompagner Charles Aznavour, et même de composer et arranger pour Bernard Primeau. Elle fait paraître un premier opus très bien réalisé, à la jonction du jazz et du classique. L’improvisation s’y ajoute à ses compositions élaborées qui m’ont beaucoup impressionné. Les mélodies sont créatives et savoureuses. À mettre entre toutes les mains. » Gabriel Bélanger, SOCAN, Paroles & Musique (Québec, Canada, 2005)

  • “A creative personality bearing freedom and imagination […] young creator who seems to stay off the beaten path.” — Nicolas Fréchette, L’Express d’Outremont, (Québec, Canada, 2005)

  • “[This] solo album […] could perhaps be compared to that of Gonzales for the delicacy that emanates, for the rich inner nature.”— Alain Brunet, La Presse, (Québec, Canada, 2005)

  • “A grand piano is a heavy solo instrument, but she takes it places it hasn’t quite been before.”— ★★★★ Dean Cottrill, L’Express d’Ottawa, (Canada, 2005)

  • “Just like her music, Marianne Trudel is lively, impassioned.” — Louis-Charles Mignot-Grenier, Quartier Libre (Québec, Canada, 2005)

  • “A gentle rebellion, a true reflection of this independent artist who looks after every aspect of her career, from creation […] to production.” — Denys Lelièvre, Voir, (Québec, Canada, 2005)

  • “Sixteen finely crafted poetic tracks, a superb work that is never redundant and an assurance in performance that foretells of great things to come. Absolutely worth staying tuned! ” Christophe Rodriguez, Le Journal de Montréal (Québec, Canada, 2005)

  • “French lyricism, clear rhythmical strains derived from listening to artists like Keith Jarrett, free improvisation and the wide-ranging melodicism of world music.” — Paul Serralheiro, La Scena Musicale, (Québec, Canada, 2004)
