Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
Fred Frith describes the Swiss pianist Katharina Weber as a „piano
icon“. The classically trained pianist and composer moves in the large
world of today‘s music, where borders no longer exist and new music and jazz improvisation merge. 12 years after her celebrated solo CD Woven Time. In Márta‘s Garden is her second solo album. The musical
framework is formed by two piano pieces by György Kurtág dedicated
to Márta Kurtág and at the centre is his composition „...eine Wanderung
mit Robert Walser...“. The exchange with the Kurtágs, which has now lasted three decades, has left intensive traces in Katharina Weber‘s work - as a performer, as an Improviser and as a composer. “Tall grass, gently moved by the summer wind. An image that is always changing, moving in detail, only seemingly monochromatic. Like György Kurtág, Katharina Weber creates her own sound cosmos.
Full of shimmering, delicate flowers, buzzing bees. Inspired by intimate
listening in meditative contemplation, not shying away from tonality, but emphasising colour, tonal tensions and overtones – at the same time an invitation and space for deeper listening, pondering, spinning forth,” writes Nina Polaschegg in the liner notes.
