About this product
Aaron Pilsan is only twenty-five years old, but he already has a busy career to his credit, with a solo album devoted to Beethoven and Schubert - very well received by the critics - and another of duo repertory with the cellist Kian Soltani. A student of Lars Vogt, he has also received guidance from András Schiff - Bach has always been at the center of their work together. The young Austrian pianist has been fascinated since childhood by The Well-Tempered Clavier, 'that musical journey on which Bach embarks with us in Book One from the seemingly simple and joyful triad of the famous Prelude in C major to the final fugue, of a complexity almost worthy of Schoenberg, on a subject that already includes the twelve semitones of the chromatic scale... Ever since I became interested in Bach's music, I have never ceased to ask myself how to make the modern grand piano - which has a rich fundamental sound but a reduced volume of harmonics compared to the harpsichord - produce an essentially Inchwell-temperedInch impression on the listener... But for me it was not a question of instrumental history, but of interpretation.'

Schumann composed Kreisleriana in April 1838, at the age of 27, exactly the same age as Aaron Pilsan today InchThe youthful thing that I can identify with in Kreisleriana is it's spontaneity. If I had to describe the piece, I would use the German word for crazy, 'verrückt', which doesn't just mean crazy, but also to be disconnected from reality. So, crazy, imaginative and intimate... There is a huge connection between these two German composers, as Jörg Widmann was inspired by Schumann's music a lot and even his musical language is very similar, even though their styles are obviously very different. The starting point for Widmann's music is from feelings, from the emotions and sentiments and that is where there is a similarity, but not only there. He even quotes Robert Schumann in his tenth Humoreske, taking a bar directly from Schumann's Geistervariationen.Inch
A decidedly meaner, sharper, and more pummeling affair than their critically acclaimed debut, Hank IV's second album, Refuge in Genre, sports eleven songs in 30 scorched-earth minutes. No visit to the lo-fi or 'S**t-gaze' Quonset huts this, Refuge in Genre was recorded in shattering hi-fidelity by Tim Green (The Fucking Champs) and mastered by Bob Weston (Shellac). The rollicking San Francisco quintet has been in the crosshairs of the Siltbreeze hunting rifle since just after the of their debut LP, Third Person Shooter, was. Attempts to their Dirty Poncho 7-inch were squashed (the honor went to Plastic Idol) so Siltbreeze did what any jilted paramour would decided to get even.
