Orion Weiss (piano)About
The three musical stories on Arc I – Granados's Goyescas, Janáček's In the Mists, and Scriabin's Piano Sonata no.9 'Black Mass' – each struggle with the same impossible awareness of what was coming for the world, and in doing so, plunge further into modernity and despair.
Of his Arc album series, Orion Weiss explains: 'The arc of this recital trilogy is inverted, like a rainbow's reflection in water. Arc I's first steps here head downhill, beginning from hope and proceeding down to despair. The bottom of the journey, Arc II, is Earth's centre, grief, loss, the lowest we can reach. The return trip, Arc III, is one of excitement and renewal, filled with the joy of rebirth and the anticipation of a better future.'
'I greatly enjoyed listening to this performance [of In the Mists] but expected it to stand up less well to some selected comparisons. To my surprise not only did I prefer Weiss to the recent, well reviewed account by Jan Bartoš but also the very famous DG account by Firkušný!' – David McDade, MusicWeb International
