Gloria Cheng (piano)About
American composer Steven Stucky’s “Four Album Leaves” and “Three Little Variations for David” are his first fully realized piano pieces written since his childhood.
Cheng performs three works by the Finnish composer Esa-Pekka Salonen. She premieres “Three Preludes”, and also performs “Dichotomie”, which was specially written for her and “Yta II” which explores the subtleties of the piano, as well as the virtuosity of the musician playing it.
Witold Lutoslawski wrote his Piano Sonata in 1934 while he was still a composition student at the Warsaw Conservatory but the work was never published during his lifetime. Gloria Cheng’s premiere recording is based on a combination of three sources: the PWM edition, a photocopy of a manuscript of the sonata written in the hand of the composer’s late wife, Danuta, and detailed discussions with Charles Bodman Rae, a leading expert on Lutoslawski’s music.
Gloria Cheng is widely recognized as one of today’s foremost interpreters of contemporary music, having garnered universal acclaim for her colourful performances and her unassuming virtuosity and musicality. She has premiered dozens of new compositions, including works composed specifically for her by John Adams, Pierre Boulez, Terry Riley, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and many others. Cheng's solo discography on Telarc includes the Piano Music of John Adams and Terry Riley and Piano Dance: A 20th-Century Portrait.
