About this product
Pianist and composer Mike Garson is perhaps best known for his longstanding musical relationship with David Bowie, which began in 1972. He made his mark on numerous Bowie albums and traveled thousands of miles on tours spanning more than four decades, including Bowie's first and last performances in the U.S. When classical pianist Danny Holt first heard Mike Garson's music, it was as if it reached out of his stereo speakers and grabbed him. Holt and Garson first crossed paths in 2004 when Holt was a graduate student at CalArts. The two hit it off, and Garson even helped produce Danny's Fast Jump album, also released through innova. Garson and Holt developed a musical kinship, and that relationship led them to this album, Piano Music of Mike Garson. Mike Garson and Danny Holt share a voracious appetite for new music and monster piano technique. Garson developed a compositional process that favored first-take improvisational works composed in real-time with the help of a Yamaha Disklavier. Holt's playing and Garson's music both have a sense of immediacy, aliveness, and being 'on the edge.' All of this comes together to form a perfect pairing in this first-ever album of Mike Garson's solo piano works, a project that survived both Garson's home burning to the ground in a 2018 wildfire, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Danny Holt has been called Inchthe classical music equivalent of an extreme sports athleteInch (The Record) and Gramophone called his Fast Jump album (innova Recordings, 2009) Incha compelling showcase for Holt's innate virtuosity and gregarious temperament.Inch Known as a champion of adventurous new music, Holt has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, Blue Man Group, Bang on a Can All-Stars, California EAR Unit, and the Calder Quartet, among others.

![Von Seyfried / Stepien / Artur Malawski Philharmon - Seyfried: Missa solemnis in B Minor - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9b3abc9e-7142-446e-9f5e-f553a766ecc8.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
This recording of Vienna based Classical era and little known Ignaz Ritter von Seyfried's sacred mass Missa Solemnis in B Minor is due to Herculean efforts of conductor and arranger Father Mieczyslaw Gniady. Father Gniady's tenacious efforts to transcribe the manuscript along with his efforts to produce this recording indeed underlines the 'labor of love' aspect of this . With a double choir and orchestra, it's clear that von Seyfried's Missa Solmenis is a worthy addition to the sacred mass canon. Album Tracks 1. I. Kyrie 2. II. Gloria in Excelsis Deo 3. III.

![Tansman / Zelibor,Danny - Alexandre Tansman: Complete Piano Music 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/bfa330b9-bbbf-4589-b37f-d334d695f381.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Alexandre Tansman's fundamental style is Stravinskyan Neo-Classicism animated by the dance-rhythms of his native Poland and energized by a masterly command of counterpoint. The substantial body of music he produced for his own instrument, the piano, has never been systematically examined in recordings. This first installment presents works he wrote soon after his 1919 arrival in Paris, the city that was to remain his home - except for the years of WW II, spent in American exile. Tansman's music is a special area of academic study and musical exploration for the American pianist Danny Zelibor. Album Tracks 1.
