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. - Watch the video edition of this excerpt at honens.com/home.
