About this product
The Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin (1937-2020), who died at the beginning of the pandemic-related cultural hiatus which has been unique with regard to world history, was able to experience considerable appreciation in his last two decades, which recently gained more and more momentum. Coming from the best Soviet aristocracy of piano teaching - Kapustin was a pupil of a pupil of Horowitz's teacher Blumenfeld and then studied with the great Alexander Goldenweiser until 1961 -, he was denied great recognition in the Soviet Union. As with many great piano composers since Chopin, the cycle of concert etudes from the middle of his life is particularly suitable for an introduction to this world of works. Kapustin's typical reference to jazz, which probably kept him from greater success in the Soviet years, is based on the highly individual, deliberate adaptation of stylistic elements. He got to know jazz greats such as Ellington, Basie, Cole, Garner, Peterson and others through records and the radio and picked out what suited him. The extremely sensitive, not monotonously hammering as is so often the case, approach of the Chinese pianist A Bu, who is also trained in jazz, is pleasing with regard to interpretation, and he demonstrates his affinity for Kapustin's music through two samples of his own work. An affectionate and valuable addition to the recording is the story of his acquaintance with Kapustin in Moscow told by the young A Bu in the accompanying booklet, illustrated with photos.

This splendidly colorful programme comprises pieces often performed by the Meininger Trio, mainly as encores- pieces that audiences constantly want to hear no matter the venue. This demand led to the highly original idea of making an Inchalbum of encores.Inch The result is a that presents a series of musical snapshots for pure enjoyment. The Meininger Trio consists of flutist Christiane Meininger, cellist Milos Mlejnik, and pianist Rainer Gepp. The Meininger Trio has always been out of the ordinary with their spectacular projects- whether walking in Mozart's footsteps, listening to the colors of the sea, or discovering the sensual sides of music with siren calls. The ensemble brings together virtuosity, beauty, and passion.

Memorias is clair-obscur's birthday present for Astor Piazzolla, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2021. This album provides the listener with comprehensive insights into Piazzolla's musical environment. A novel, unexpected musical context allows us to hear Piazzolla's music in a different way, with a fresh approach. It is obvious why the four musicians from Berlin are called Inchclair-obscurInch. Clair-obscur, a painting technique from the Renaissance, in which opposing light and dark tones are used to symbolize heavenly and earthly elements, is the visual equivalent of the sounds the quartet draw from their instruments on the one hand, warm, intense and clear, and on the other harsh, aggressive and robust. These two poles can also be found in the composition of the quartet two female and 2 male musicians in one ensemble create a unique musical energy.
Limited vinyl LP pressing of Khold's 2001 debut album of cold and primitive old-school Norwegian Black Metal. Masterpiss of Pain features a guest appearance by Galder (Old Man's Child, Dimmu Borgir) on the track InchRovnattInch.
