Produktinfo: Auf seiner neuesten Aufnahme für Hyperion präsentiert sich Marc-André Hamelin in a state of jazz: Neben jazzigen Werken von Nikolai Kapustin und George Antheil sind solche von seinen Pianistenkollegen Friedrich Gulda und Alexis Weissenberg zu hören. Und wie nicht anders zu erwarten, steckt auch diese wundervolle Scheibe voller Überraschungen. Product-Information: Marc-André Hamelin s technical and interpretative brilliance over an extraordinarily wide range of repertoire has placed him firmly in the top rank of living pianists. His recent recordings of Alkan and Haydn were universally acclaimed in the highest terms. In this latest recording, Hyperion presents Marc-André Hamelin »in a state of jazz«, as he turns his attention to the music of Kapustin, Antheil, Gulda and Weissenberg—all composers who felt keenly that there was a fundamental desire on the part of the concert-going public to hear something different. This wonderful disc is full of surprises—as Hamelin writes in his entertaining yet scholarly liner notes, »There is no jazz in this recording. At least not in the traditional sense … There is much to be enjoyed here, and much to be amazed by«. Rezensionen »Although this fine recording is entitled ›In a State of Jazz‹ it includes no true jazz – every note is written down – but for all that it bursts with the daring vitality that is the hallmark of the best improvised music« (Observer) »Hamelin plays with such dexterous panache that he puts back much of the heat that the formalisation of jazz as ›composition‹ removes … Dazzling and enchanting« (Classic FM Magazine) »Nikolai Kapustin s remarkable Sonata No 2 is a convincing integration of classical form with jazz. Alexis Weissenberg s Sonata in a State of Jazz, which evokes tango, Charleston, blues and samba in its four movements, is more idiosyncratic but no less dazzling« (The Scotsman) »What an imaginative program Marc-André Hamelin has assembled: jazz-inspired works that are virtuosic like nobody s business and totally fun to listen to... Technically, of course, Hamelin is beyond reproach... he s a serious contender for the first word in piano playing« (Classicstoday. com)Disc 11 Friedrich Gulda: Play Piano Play (10 Übungsstücke für Klavier) (Auszug)2 Exercise Nr. 1: Moderato3 Nikolai Kapustin: Sonate Nr. 2 op. 544 1.
