Lourie / Erny - Piano Works - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Arthur Lourie (1892-1966) is one of the most important representatives of the Russian avant-garde, even though he unfortunately never received the appropriate attention due to emigration, among other things. While his early piano pieces were still linked to Scriabin's late work, the composer soon developed completely new forms of musical discourse, including graphic notation. Christian Erny assembled a roughly hour-long selection of works that offer a foray into the innovative and fascinating world of Arthur Lourie. Christian Erny (b. 1988) is a young musician of high versatility. He is an active pianist and piano pedagogue as well as founder and conductor of the vocal ensemble The Zurich Chamber Singers. As an assistant conductor, he has been working for the Winterthur Conservatory Chamber Choir since 2012. He also is former artistic director of the series Conzerte Freulerpalast in Glarus.
