A great moment of emotion. The launch of the seventeenth season of France has an unbelievable talentTuesday on M6, was marked by Rayane’s performance. The 15-year-old Ile-de-France resident, who lives in a home in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis) shocked the jury and the public by playing piano the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata the Beethoven.
“Here, it was Incredible talent. That’s why we’re doing this show, ”exclaimed Eric Antoine following his performance. His prowess was all the more applauded as the teenager is a perfect autodidact. He has only been learning to play the piano for a year, thanks to tutorials on YouTube, taking advantage of the freely accessible keyboards in station halls.
“You have a very personal way of playing, of crushing the notes, commented Marianne James. I think you have understood Beethoven’s fiery and touchy character. Everything is imperfect, therefore everything is alive. »
“I wanted to transcribe this anger”
During the round table presentation of the show, which was attended by 20 Minutes at the end of September, Karine Le Marchand revealed Rayane’s cut response to the edit. “Marianne James told him that he lacked delicacy in the interpretation. He replied: “Not at all. I put myself in Beethoven’s shoes. It was at a time when he knew he was losing his hearing, I think he was angry when he composed and I wanted to transcribe this anger.” »
Proof of the lasting imprint left by the young man in the minds, Eric Antoine mentioned him, at a press conference, among his best memories. “There are beings whose destiny is astonishing. This boy whose parents cannot take care of him, who learns the piano alone, on his keyboard without keys in front of his computer, and who is able to play Beethoven, Chopin, with the dexterity of a Rachmaninoff… We are facing at a miracle, the planets are aligned,” the magician said.
“Finding a piano that matches your talent”
Eric Antoine clarified that, since the shooting, at the beginning of September in Rueil-Malmaison (Hauts-de-Seine), he contacted his educator at the Montreuil home, “to find him a piano at the height of his talent. “He is one of the artists I want to follow, even if classical music is not in my area of expertise,” he added.
Rayane’s career in France has an unbelievable talent is just getting started even though it won’t reappear on the air until the finale. Hélène Ségara has indeed activated her “golden buzzer” to offer her direct qualification for the final stage.
“Your presence will inspire a whole new generation to appreciate classical music,” said Sugar Sammy. The Quebec comedian may be right: since it was posted on Facebook on September 28, Rayane’s audition video has already been viewed more than 10 million times.
