DESCRIPTION:
-WITH ITS IMPRESSIVE RANGE OF GENTLE SHADES AND HUES, THIS COMPOSITION PLAYS WITH MEMORIES OF FRANZ LISZT’S LATE PIANO PIECES LA LUGUBRE GONDOLA I AND II. MANFRED TROJAHN LIKEWISE PRESENTS SUBDUED MELODIES FLOATING ABOVE AN UNDULATING ACCOMPANIMENT. THESE ARE THE FANTASIES OF A CONTEMPORARY COMPOSER WHO CREATES SOMETHING NEW FROM AN HISTORIC TEXTURE BY SUBTLY RECASTING IT. SUDDENLY THE OTHERWISE TRANQUIL FLOW IS BROKEN BY A SCURRYING INTERLOPER – A REMINISCENCE OF THE GREAT VIRTUOSO PIANIST FRANZ LISZT?
