Album Summary

Performer

• Nicolas Hodges (Piano)

Composer

• Georges Aperghis (1945 - )

Notes & Reviews:

A naked and honest piano sound was cultivated relatively late by Aperghis - the results are highly concentrated as might be expected. Nicholas Hodges has concerned himself with these works since 1997: he places emphasis on clarity, sharply-defined lines and the brilliance of timbres. He manages somehow to metamorphose grace into rapid motion and back again. He creates a plasticity of rhythm and harmony, allowing these to somersault over each other or to trickle ever onwards as in the subtle 'Piece pour jeunes pianistes'.
