About this product
Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev open two different paths toward the summit of pianism one, a spiritual, profound, and tragic journey; the other, a macabre dance between irony and despair. Both, in their own way, are Everests that only a few manage to reach, but whose summit, once attained, transforms the one who plays. Playing the Third Concerto is, without a doubt, an epic journey, not only for it's technical difficulty but for the emotional depth it demands. Every time I perform it, I feel that I am drawing closer to that unfathomable mystery that is Rachmaninoff's music, a music that seems to contain within it all the pain and all the beauty of the world. Playing the Second Concerto is not only a challenge but an immersion into the perception of what music can or should be. Prokofiev mocks expectations, leads us to the edge of chaos, and then leaves us hanging, without a clear answer, as if telling us that in life, in the end, all that remains is the empty echo of applause.Josu de Solaun, praised by critics such as Nikolaus Frey of Fuldaer Zeitung for his Inchpoetic sense of sound, bold artistic vision, and virtuosity,Inch has won the International Classical Music Awards twice-2021 for chamber music and 2023 as Best Soloist. The ICMA jury recognized him as Inchone of the most impressive discoveries of the past decade,Inch noting his boundless interpretive imagination and technical mastery. Album Tracks 1.

Here is a recording that combines the aesthetic value of music together with the musical works' historical underpinnings. The pianist Josu de Solaun offers us his interpretation of two of the most significant pieces of the Romantic period Davidsbündlertänze (1837) by Robert Schumann (1819-1856), the Spring and revolutionary high point of a first Romanticism, and two works by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), heterodox and conflicting protagonists of an autumnal kind of Romanticism the Intermezzi op. 117 (1892) and the Klavierstücke op. 118 (1893). At the same time, the performer proposes a title that, on the one hand, supports his interpretative ideas and, on the other, aims to be a guide for our understanding and comprehension of how many singularities articulate the content of the recording DIGRESSIONS, a title suggesting a kind of reflection that sets in during the flow of the musical works themselves.

Fire is what Josu de Solaun shed with his improvisations to the audience of the City of León Auditorium on 13th March 2021. It was an exceptional concert in which improvisations full of warmth and light now have a second life thanks to this album. panDEMi-City is the musical document - the still photo - of a unique event, an unprecedented hic et nunc in the artistic career of the great pianist born in Valencia and raised in New York. Undoubtedly, this is a milestone which makes Josu de Solaun an essential demiurge of the current world improvisation scene. de Solaun's exuberant idiomaticism, his vast musical background, provokes vertigo in the listener. de Solaun not only pays a moving tribute to Keith Jarrett, but also visits and inhabits the music of numerous composers who have been nesting in his prodigious fingers for decades, such as his favorite composers Schumann, Janácek, Bartók, Chopin, Brahms, Enescu, Carter, Liszt or Debussy, 20th century and interwar music, music close to Russian composers such as Shostakovich, but, above all, jazz, always jazz, because for Josu de Solaun this music is his Inchlink with popular music, folklore... Jazz has very strong vernacular roots and this music keeps me with my feet on the ground, in the atavistic, in the ancestral.Inch Album Tracks 1. Inception, Pt. 1 2. First Wave, Pt. 2 3.
