Izumi Tateno (piano)

Description:

Composer Urmas Sisask was born in 1960. He is an Estonian composer who is currently attracting international attention. This collection of compositions, composed between 2012 and 2014, is dedicated to Izumi Tateno, with whom he has had a close friendship for some time. Sisask's childhood interest in astronomical observation led him to create his own musical scale, which he used to produce a fantastical style with a minimalist writing style. Tateno's piano invites us to a dreamlike world in which the pictorial patterns of the northern sky seem to change in multiple layers. Avere is located 80 km from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, and the recording was made using a Bösendorfer from a historical facility here. (C)RS
