Ingrid Laubrock - Kasumi - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Following their acclaimed collaboration in Percy Grainger's Folk Music, soprano Claire Booth and pianist Christopher Glynn turn to the Lyric Music of Edvard Grieg, an apt sequel as the elder composer befriended Grainger- who idolized the Norwegian's folkloric idiom- immediately on their first encounter in London in 1906. Interspersing intimate vocal miniatures with lyrical solo piano pieces, Claire and Christopher mirror many of the programmes that Grieg and his wife Nina performed on their many recital tours together. Each of the works on Lyric Music tells a story as does the album as a whole ranging in mood from bright, youthful innocence to shades of autumnal twilight. Sung in the original Norwegian, Claire's and Christopher's performances are as evocative as Norway's varied landscape.

Clemens Hund-göschel - Charlotte Seither Lauschgut. Works For (Inside) Piano (1989-2022) / InchIn art, you can have a look at the world as the world wouldn't see itself. I find that incredibly exciting,Inch says Charlotte Seither, presenting ten outstanding works for piano written between 1989 and 2022 - over a period of 33 years. All of these works on make use of playing techniques in which the grand piano is not structurally altered. The sounds are therefore only created in the act of playing and make the individual work a risky event. Some pieces were created in closer succession to each other, because one work already carried the idea for the next. Between others it took time to develop. Masterfully recorded by Clemens Hund-Göschel, Seither's piano works are presented together on one album for the first time.
