![Leonard Schultsz - Esquisses - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/cca52bfb-831b-4a68-91a0-20b729ae331c.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Esquisses opens up a fascinating soundscape for horn and piano, in which rare musical miniatures engage in a new dialogue alongside familiar masterpieces. The selection brings together finely drawn sketches from late Romanticism, modernism, and contemporary music-including forgotten gems from the Russian-Ukrainian repertoire, early works by great teachers such as Glazunov and Tcherepnin, as well as pieces written especially for the performers by Swiss composers such as Daniel Schnyder and Thüring Bräm. This recording shows how rich, colorful, and virtuosic the literature for horn and piano can be-beyond the beaten track.
![Katharina Weber - In Marta's Garden - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8bb3e52b-dc14-4481-b4d2-1633fd664cca.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Fred Frith describes the Swiss pianist Katharina Weber as a Inchpiano iconInch. The classically trained pianist and composer moves in the large world of today's music, where borders no longer exist and new music and jazz improvisation merge. In Márta's Garden is her second solo album. The musical framework is formed by two piano pieces by György Kurtág dedicated to Márta Kurtág and at the centre is his composition Inch... eine Wanderung mit Robert Walser... Inch. The exchange with the Kurtágs, which has now lasted three decades, has left intensive traces in Katharina Weber's work - as a performer, as an improviser and as a composer. Like Kurtág, Weber creates her own sound cosmos. Inspired by intimate listening in meditative contemplation, not shying away from tonality, but emphasising colour, tonal tensions and overtones - at the same time an invitation and space for deeper listening, pondering, spinning forth,Inch writes Nina Polaschegg in the liner notes.
