Orion Weiss (piano)About
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.'
Reviews
As with ‘Arc I’ (6/22), ‘Arc II’ showcases Orion Weiss’s imaginative programme-building and intelligent artistry […] All told, a fine release, especially for Weiss’s reference-worthy Shostakovich Sonata.
Weiss is a nimble guide to music full of momentum, life and detail. […] Where Weiss breathed serenity with Ravel [Le Tombeau de Couperin], there is a loneliness in Shostakovich’s sparse textures [Piano Sonata] […] the sense of meandering memories is beautifully done
this is a nicely balanced performance with a luminous touchError on this page? Let us know here
