(SACD)慕特菲爾德美國鋼琴獨奏會

This SACD with compositions by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, George Gershwin, Samuel Barber, Frederic Rzewski and Philip Glass presents a cross-section of North American piano music from 1850 to 1980. It offers the listener the possibility to become immersed in a fascinating musical cosmos which is, above all, notable for its stylistic variety. This is characteristic of American music's search for its identity from the very beginning of its history: a lack of historical references is replaced by a plethora of ethnic-social phenomena and the principle of permanent cultural exchange. Gottschalk became an early pioneer of the ""crossover"" and Gershwin merged jazz and art music to form a unique entity. With his monumental Piano Sonata and the Nocturne, Samuel Barber delivered brilliant examples of a tonally and formally conservative yet powerful and compellingly individual language. In contrast, Philip Glass and Frederic Rzewski represent contemporary positions, with the extremes of minimalism and avant-gardism, of an advanced American modernism that nonetheless continues to aim towards general comprehensibility."" 商品曲目： 1.Pasquinade (Caprice), Op. 59-3:48 2.Ricordati, Op. 26-3:13 3.The Last Hope (Meditation Religieuse), Op. 16-5:45 4.Berceuse (Cradle Song), Op. 47-4:59 5.The Banjo (Fantaisie Grotesque), Op. 15-4:01 6.Three Preludes: I.
