Blais, Jean-Michel Aubades LP Vinyl

Aubades, the new album from post-classical piano icon Jean-Michel Blais, marks the Montreal-born musician's transition from pianist to composer, as he writes for an ensemble for the first time in his career. Written during the pandemic and following a breakup, Blais has used his distinctive musical voice to create a defiantly uplifting record with glistening instrumental textures and warm major tonalities. The album's title refers to the "aubade", a Middle Ages morning love song about lovers separating at daybreak, a dawn serenade.
