Description
Unknown masterpieces for piano of the 21st Century, with some pieces composed as a dedication to pianist Tina Reynaert.
Tina Reynaert wants to create a platform for new piano music that has not yet been performed or discovered. The authenticity of contemporary acoustic music deserves to be recorded and to reach a wider audience. "The Hour of the Wolf" is a compilation of what she believes to be canonical works from the period 1990 to 2021. Tina's journey began some years ago, when she started collecting piano pieces by composers from all over the world. She asked a number of them to compose and dedicate a piece to her. Given all the new musical developments and idioms of the twentieth century (atonality, serialism, multiple serialism, spectralism, extended techniques, …), Tina wanted to discover how composers work today. What is their musical signature? Which new works illustrate the times in which we live? What more can be added or has the power to transform? This CD is an attempt to answer such questions.
"The hour between night and dawn ... when most people die, sleep is deepest, nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their worst anguish, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. The hour of the wolf is also the hour when most babies are born." - INGMAR BERGMAN
