Honens @ Home: Han Chen performs Roussel

At the 2018 Honens International Piano Competition, Finalist Han
Chen performed Roussel's Divertissement Op. 6 with the Azahar
Ensemble. Described by AllMusic's Adrian Corleonis as
"rhythmically alive with every bar," the piece is "pithy without
being complex, harmonically fresh without system, robust but
never knockabout, sensuous rather than sensual." 


What a perfect sentiment to carry with us for the remainder of
the week.
