These Beasts - Cares, Wills, Wants - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Michael Korstick ranks among the most important German pianists of our time. His playing is documented on numerous award-winning CDs which bear witness to the enormous breadth of his repertoire. The recording now being released by Gramola features Russian piano music from the 19th and 20th century. The piano cycle Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky can rightly be viewed as one of the most well-known works for piano, not least due to the immense number of later orchestrations (most notably by Maurice Ravel). Following up on the programmatic nature of musical pictures is the Doumka (Scène rustique russe) in C minor, Op. 59 by Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky as well as the Caucasian Lesghinka by Sergej Lyapunow, who alike portray traditional Russian themes and musical motifs in many of their compositions. Less tangible in extra-musical content appears the Sonata for piano No. 8 in B flat major Op. 84 by Sergej Prokofiev, having been composed during the years of World War II from 1939-1944.

Diabolisches Werk means and is the work of the devil. Formed in the pandemic October of 2020, the band is pure musical blasphemy, combining death and thrash metalin it's most brutal form. The members Pissmark (guitar & bass), Knochenmark (guitar & vocals) and Smellhammer (drums & vocals) have been active in the extreme musicscene for decades, e.g. in bands like Endstille, Tauthr, Dysangelium (Ger), etc. Appreciate the Beast!
