Info zu Bernstein: Complete Solo Piano Music

Kompositionen einer Musik-Ikone: BERNSTEIN – Sämtliche Klavierwerke Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) war zweifellos eine der bedeutendsten Musikerpersönlichkeiten im Amerika des 20. Jahrhunderts: Als Pianist, Komponist, Dirigent, Lehrer und Medienstar war er eine Musik-Ikone. 2018 jährte sich sein Geburtstag zum hundertsten Mal, was neues Interesse an diesem überragenden Genie weckte.

Bernsteins Kompositionen sind so facettenreich wie der Mann selbst: Seine Komposition Touches ist von den harschen und stark dissonanten Klängen der Variationen von Copland beeinflusst; seine Anniversaries hingegen sind berührendem und manchmal sogar sentimentalem Gedenken an wichtige Menschen in seinem Leben gewidmet.

Bernsteins komplette Klavierwerke wurden für diese neue Aufnahme vom jungen italienischen Pianisten Michele Tozzetti auf einem großartigen Fazioli-Flügel (F278) eingespielt. Das Booklet enthält Texte des bekannten Autors Stuart Isacoff.
