Alice Sara Ott (piano)About
Echoes of Life - Deluxe Edition is released by Alice Sara Ott on Deutsche Grammophon. Echoes of Life, Alice Sara Ott’s tenth album for Deutsche Grammophon, was released to widespread acclaim in August 2021. While the programme has autobiographical origins for Ott, as she took it on tour she realised that it had equally intense personal resonances for her audiences, whose listening experience was enhanced by the immersive video installation specially designed by architect Hakan Demirel to accompany the performances.
As Ott begins her major Echoes of Life Asia tour - taking in China, Hong Kong and Japan - she releases the Deluxe Edition, for which she has recorded 11 new tracks. The additional repertoire ranges from J.S. Bach, John Field and Chopin to Valentin Silvestrov, plus a brand new work written for her by Chilly Gonzales. It also sees Ott switch between grand and upright pianos.
“Her playing is technically unimpeachable, with beauty of tone, virtuoso flair and fine musical judgment throughout” – BBC Music Magazine on Echoes of Life
Hailed by Diapason as “striking for its sincerity and authenticity”, Echoes of Life offered an individual and thought-provoking take on Chopin’s Bach-inspired 24 Préludes, op.28. Ott highlighted the works’ timeless nature by framing them with music by 20th- and 21st-century composers, including her own arrangement of fragments of the Lacrimosa from the Mozart Requiem. For the extended edition, she has chosen pieces connected with the music, composers and themes of the original album, but without imposing her own associations on them.
Alice Sara Ott embarks on a major tour of Asia performing the Echoes of Life programme in China, Hong Kong and Japan. Audiences will have their listening experience enhanced by the immersive video installation specially designed by architect Hakan Demirel to accompany the performances. In addition, the 2023-24 season sees Ott appear as Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre and at Radio France; with performances including a new concerto written for her by Bryce Dessner and a duo recital with Francesco Tristano. The world-premiere performance of the new concerto will be with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich and Kent Nagano. She also makes her debut with the New York Philharmonic. With global streams of 325 million and counting, Alice Sara Ott is known as one of the most compelling artists of her generation.
Featuring extensive liner notes by Alice Sara Ott.
