Lilit Grigoryan - Songs of Rain - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With the project InchThe Duplex Coupler Grand PianoInch Florian Uhlig and David Stromberg breathe new life into a forgotten idea. The composer Emanuel Moór, whose works combine wonderful melodies and surprising harmonic twists, developed the InchDuplex Coupler PianoInch with a double keyboard. The coupled, octavated notes help the works achieve special shades of sound. In the recording of the cello sonatas by Moor, Richard Strauss and Ernst von Dohnanyi by David Stromberg and Florian Uhlig, this unique instrument now comes into focus.

She questions the simplicity in this program of InchsimpleInch piano sonatas and demonstrates her virtuosity by filling the few notes with as much musicality as possible. Shows different interpretations and styles of the genre InchSonatineInch with works by Beethoven (No. 25, op. 79), Reynaldo Hahn (IRH90), Ravel (M. 40), Mozart (KV 545), Hermann Goetz (No. 1, op. 8) and Nikolai Medtner (op. 56)
