Maria Prinz - Piano Concertos - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Casal Quartett - String Quartets / Intenso Music Without Limits [COMPACT DISCS] date 09/28/2010

This is a novel document based on commitment and solidarity. It's most perceptive protagonist is the young pianist Luis González Lladó who, guided by the desire to be coherent with his time, proposed to a heterogeneous group of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American composers the creation of a nucleus of piano works based on the formal model of the prelude, freely reflecting their conception of the aesthetic time in which they were immersed. That proposal formulated in 2017 fostered a significant collective response, to which this phonographic document aims to attest in the first instance with the works and authors selected by the pianist Luis González Lladó himself. The free creative expression and the unique technical and stylistic design that each author has stamped on his work are formulated as paradigms of the created fact, the pianist being the authentic interpreter of it's contents and assuming responsibly the profiles that all interpretation implies as a recreating fact. It is the composers themselves who describe their works, all of which are dedicated to the pianist who performs them.

Marianna Shirinyan, an Armenian pianist resident in Denmark, is one of this generation's leading pianists. The orchestra uses historical brass instruments and timpani, less vibrato in the strings, and bases it's interpretation on Beethoven's original metronome markings. This brand new CD is the first in a series of Beethoven recordings being made by the Copenhagen Phil, an orchestra that has recently displayed it's commitment to bringing classical music to everyone with it's zany and hugely enjoyable Inchflash mobInch appearances in Copenhagen's Central Station and Metro. Both flash mob videos have received more than three and a half million views on You Tube.
