With touching sincerity, Rodolphe Menguy opens himself up to the ambivalent world of childhood. The selected pieces reawaken his joys and fears, and the supple, direct playing style metamorphoses along with the trials experienced by the fairy tale heroes. The tones of the piano, able to grasp the sense of intimacy just as it breaks into the dances of an imaginary ballet, make it the genie through which the pianist fulfils his vow: to recover and share the emotions of earlier times.
