Didier Freboeuf lays bare his musical universe.  Between composition and improvisation, jazz and world music, he enriches his desire for the right note with an accomplished consideration for silence.  He makes the piano speak as if, between him and the sound, there is no mechanical intermediary.  Organic music, emotive and masterly, a voyage without a compass in the heart of territories which he has cultivated with consistency for many years. (Article: Studio de l’Ermitage).
