Buxtehude / Vox Scaniensis - BUXTEHUDE: MEMBRA JESU NOSTRI - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Eugene Asti writes of this new InchWhen I was trying to decide which solo pieces to record, I felt drawn to the late piano works as they seemed in some way related to his songs. Brahms's Lieder are some of his most intimate and personal compositions, and although small in scale, there is a wealth of emotional depth and poetic sensibility to be explored in them. The exact same thing can be said of the late piano works, which are likewise small in dimension and certainly not composed as virtuosic showpieces. They are also among the most beautiful and profound of all his works, possessing a truly vocal quality with which, as a song pianist, I can immediately identify (some could almost be called 'songs without words'). In the making of this recording, I was very fortunate that LAWO chose a wonderful reconditioned Steinway D dating from 1893, which is just a year after the composition of these late piano pieces.Inch Eugene Asti is one of the foremost accompanists of his generation, and regularly tours and records as a solo musician. His many recordings have garnered him widespread critical acclaim. Album Tracks 1. Fantasien, Op. 116 I. Capriccio Presto Energico 2. II. Intermezzo Andante 3. III. Capriccio Allegro Passionato 4.
