John Field: Nocturne Nr. 7 C-Dur
Notturno is a game: an interplay of light and shade in a quasi nocturnal setting that is occasionally illuminated by dazzling daylight. Matthias Veit unfurls a “panorama of correspondence”, shifting between tense tranquility and colourful dramatics. Iridescent character pieces inhabited by ghostly figures, un-known and well-loved gems from the piano repertoire span a net that stretches from the Romantic era to the modern day.
Works from Crumb’s “Makrokosmos” initiate a musical discourse of pro and contra between the great piano composers, which breathes a single deep musical breath right from the start – ending with an unexpected culmination. Recording: 02/2018 – Kammermusiksaal, Musikhochschule Lübeck/Germany. Piano: Steinway D.
