On her first Pentatone album, pianist Tamara Stefanovich presents a highly personal selection of solo works by Bach, Bartók, Ives and Messiaen. Influences shows how these extraordinarily original and idiosyncratic composers let themselves be inspired by the exterior world, thereby demonstrating how authenticity comes from looking outside as well as inside. The repertoire spans from Bach’s embrace of Italian musical elements in his Aria variata alla maniera italiana, Bartók’s incorporation of folk elements in his Improvisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, and Messiaen’s use of Hindu rhythms in Cantéyodjayâ to the collage of marching bands, sounds of trains and machinery, church hymns, ragtime and blues in Ives’ First Piano Sonata. In all cases, the exterior influences lead to deeply original and personal sonic galaxies. In that respect, the pieces presented here underline how identity results from a constant dialogue with our surroundings, ever changing and enriching our perceptions of ourselves and the world.

Wolfgang Rihm is one of the most important contemporary composers of our time. The musician, professor of composition and author from Karlsruhe, Germany is a larger-than-life personality, and the contemporary music scene is impossible to imagine without him. His knowledge of music is all-encompassing, as is his mastery of the arts, literature and philosophy – all of which serve as sources of inspiration for his composing. With more than 400 compositions, he has created a universe that cannot easily be defined. Rihm has written New Music – the titles of his compositions have come to symbolize the musical history of recent decades. Other works by him refer to music history – they include, for example, oratorios inspired by Bach, orchestral works based on Brahms, or chamber music inspired by Schumann.

Tamara Stefanovich, Pierre-Laurent Aimard – Vassos Nicolaou: 15 Klavieretüden & Frames (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 59:12 minutes | 484 MB | Genre: Classical

On Etudes & Frames, pianist Tamara Stefanovich presents the music of contemporary master Vassos Nicolaou. In his etudes, Nicolaou uses virtuosity as a means to explore forms consisting of complex rhythms, great speed, and multi-layered sound. Each of the fifteen etudes has a meaningful title and focuses on specific geometric choreographic movements of the hands on the keyboard as well as a basic acoustic idea. For Stefanovich, this set has a structural integrity not seen since Ligeti’s etudes. Nicolaou’s etudes are paired with Frames for two pianos, in which Stefanovich is accompanied by Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Stefanovich studied with Nicolaou and has been a major proponent of his music ever since. Dedicating an entire album to his music is a dream come true.
