Kirill Zvegintsov has made the world premiere recording of the entire collection of pieces, which are typical Holliger works, very elaborate, and include many quotations.\n\nMixed in with the Holliger works on the program are early and late piano works by Swiss composer and pianist Jürg Wittenbach, who died in 2021. Wittenbach had known Holliger since their days at the Bern Conservatory, when he studied composition with Sándor Veresh (Veresh had also taught composition to Ligeti and Kurtág in Hungary). In his later years, Wittenbach took on the daunting task of completing a sketch that remained as an alternative to the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 109. Pianist Zvegintsov combines and contrasts this experimental work with the original contemporary work in a very exciting way.\n\nOn November 4, 2021, Ukrainian pianist and conductor Kirill Zvegintsov, who has lived in Basel since 2005, performed the complete \"Album Spellings\" by Heinz Holliger and a collection of Beethoven sketches completed by Wittenbach simultaneously at Basel's Maison 44. Wittenbach was very ill at the time and could no longer make the trip, but the concert was broadcast to his hospital room. Seven weeks later, Wittenbach died on December 22 at the age of 86.This CD builds on that concert and is programmed with Wittenbach's early piano works and Holliger's more recent works. The unique composition and arrangement of the works reveals a complex intertwining of lines of life.\n\nWERGO\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wergo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52171569103137,"sku":"4010228741322","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4010228741322.jpg?v=1766641962","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ph\/products\/4010228741322","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
