About This Item
This sensuous and poignant by pianist Karim Shehata, his second album on the GENUIN tag, is more than just a prelude it is a collection whose pieces flow into each other, comment, prelude and postlude so seamlessly that, without the booklet, it is hard to believe that these are exclusively preludes-pieces conceived as preparation for something essential. The list of composers is a InchWho is WhoInch ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to Olivier Messiaen. The young and yet already mature Karim Shehata plays all this with such ease and depth that one would like to rank him among the greats! Absolutely recommendable.
