About this product
Piet Jozef Swerts is one of Belgium's prime composers of accessible music in the postmodernist vein. On his first Antarctica , he sets himself the considerable challenge of assembling a largescale piano texture from smaller sonatas without relying on worn out romantic formats. Following the example of Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier, Swerts writes and plays polyphonic music with a modern twist, taking off with Scarlatti at his jazziest, but also echoing Mozart, Wagner, and Purcell. Framed in the Baroque tradition, the new music of Swerts sounds scintillatingly smart, but not cerebral. And his straight strung piano embodies the old-new paradox by fusing modern Steinway comfort with the color and register versatility of a pianoforte.

Founded in 2013 these German speed dealers took the traditional bluecollar route, releasing one demo, two EPs and two full-lengths while sweating off their afterwork beers on club and festival stages throughout Europe. Now with InchSlaves of Time,Inch they achieved the almost impossible by topping 2017's InchFrom the DeadInch both musically and lyrically. InchSlaves of TimeInch is an overall serious affair, especially regarding 'No Mercy, 'Brain Dead' and 'Merchants of Fear.' InchSince there is no title track, we wanted to sum up several songs in the artwork, and these were our choice. 'No Mercy' might be our strongest rallying cry to date against society's unworthy swing to the right while 'Brain Dead' depicts what 24-7 exposure to the media can do to your psyche.

Pianist Jonathan Biss's approach to music is a holistic one. In his own words I'm trying to pursue as broad a definition as possible of what it means to be a musician. As well as being one of the world's most sought-after pianists, a regular performer with major orchestras, concert halls and festivals around the globe and co-Artistic Director of Marlboro Music, Jonathan Biss is also a renowned teacher, writer and musical thinker. One of the great Beethoven interpreters of our time, Biss's fascination with Beethoven dates back to childhood and Beethoven's music has been a constant throughout his life. In 2011 Biss released Beethoven's Shadow, the first Kindle eBook to be written by a classical musician. He has subsequently launched Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, Coursera's online learning course that has reached more than 150, 000 subscribers worldwide; and initiated Beethoven/5, a project to commission five piano concertos as companion works for each of Beethoven's piano concertos from composers Timo Andres, Sally Beamish, Salvatore Sciarrino, Caroline Shaw and Brett Dean. The latter will be premiered in February 2020 with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and subsequently performed by orchestras in USA, Germany, France, Poland and Australia. In 2011, he embarked on a nine-year, nine-album project to record the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas. The present album is the first volume in this project, and features the Sonatas Nos. 5, 11, 12, and 26.
