Info zu Upon Further Reflection

Der junge Pianist John Wilson begegnete Michael Tilson Thomas zum ersten Mal im Jahr 2015, als er Stipendiat der New World Symphony war. Wilson entwickelte sich schnell vom Protegé zu einem engen Vertrauten und musikalischen Partner, wodurch letztlich das Solo-Debüt mit der Ersteinspielung von Tilson Thomas' »Upon Further Reflection« entstand. Die dreisätzige Klaviersuite enthält zahlreiche Einflüsse – von Monteverdi über Schumann und Debussy zu Berg, von Bossa Nova bis zu Peggy Lee. Zwei pianistische Schwergewichte ergänzen das amerikanische Album: Coplands frühe Sonate und Earl Wilds virtuose Arrangements von sieben berühmten Gershwin-Melodien.
