Johanna Summer - Dialoge - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Dialoge is an album built on encounter, spontaneity, and the meeting of musical worlds. Bringing together composed works from the classical repertoire and immediate improvisation, the project unfolds as a series of musical conversations between pianist Johanna Summer and four remarkable artists Claire Huangci, Danae Dörken, Kit Armstrong, and Igor Levit.Each guest performs a piece of their choice, to which Summer responds in the moment with an improvised continuation at a second grand piano. In this unique exchange, classical works become the starting point for new musical paths, blurring the boundaries between interpretation and improvisation and creating a vibrant dialogue between tradition and invention. The result is an album of musical encounters where listening, spontaneity, and dialogue take center stage. Album Tracks 1. Arrival (Johanna Summer) 2 08 2.
