Mireille’s Book

A friend of Piotr Lachert, Boudewijn Buckinx, and of her publisher, Belgian pianist Mireille Gleizes has been a dedicated interpreter of the New Consonant Music repertoire since the late 1980s. Over time, she developed close artistic relationships with numerous composers, including Frédéric Devreese, Gilberto Mendes, and Michel Lysight, leading to her premièring many of their works.

The Mireille’s Book is an exceptional tribute album committed by the publisher that brings together four pieces composed in admiration of Gleizes’ artistry:

• Sogno – Frédéric Devreese
• Sonata 27 – Piotr Lachert
• Portrait – Michel Lysight
• Simplesmente uma valsa – Gilberto Mendes

Each work reflects the esteem in which these composers held this discreet yet influential pianist, whose commitment to championing contemporary music has left a lasting mark on the New Consonant Music movement.
