Omar Massa - Parfenov: Bandoneon Story - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Early works usually provide information about the origin and first manifestations of a composer's musical personality; Hindemith's works for violoncello and piano written in the years 1917 and 1919/20 are no exception. To be sure the earlier pieces document above all the compositional point of departure - the influences of Reger and Strauss on the texture of the piano writing and harmony are obvious - while the later work already exhibits aspects typical of Hindemith's personal style in the 1920s which caused the composer to be viewed as a notorious musical terror. Julius Berger violoncello / Siegfried Mauser piano.

Eight sonorous pieces that rise above themselves. Stylistics serve to be thought further. Doors are torn open, new horizons open up. Interaction. Communication. Fusion. Between the percussionist Kai Strobel, the pianist Katharina Treutler and the Argentinian bandoneon player and composer Omar Massa, something like this is created seemingly without friction. In other words, the best starting conditions for an adventure that light-footedly escapes pigeonholing - regardless of whether it is called tango nuevo, chamber music or jazz. Interpretations of famous pieces by the Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla meet new commissioned works tailored to this ensemble. The common denominator is clearly defined To create something new for the present
