Description
Bruce Wolosoff is a formidable pianist, lauded for his integration of classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary influences in his compositions. His new magnum opus, Rising Sun Variations, is an extended and innovative set of improvisations on the American traditional folk song, best known for a version recorded in 1964 by British rock band the Animals. Wolosoff's "Prelude and Theme" are followed by 39 Variations ranging from sonorous to serene, encompassing a multitude of styles united by the well-known refrain.
"[In]Wolosoff's variations one encounters familiar and comfortable sights at unexpected junctures. ... Wolosoff's eclectic bent arises from an authentic and sincere voice, rather than mere cleverness. This quality also informs his pianism. The booklet notes are taken up with a stimulating and refreshingly frank conversation between Wolosoff and the noted writer Tim Page." - Gramophone
