ESTHER WALKER
Description:
Swiss-born pianist Esther Walker is a master of both abstract and figurative pianism, combining fiery passion and lyrical sensitivity. She performs two German works that are a rather austere combination of the two, and she does it with great skill. The music of Hindemith and Hartmann, two sharply contrasting composers with different personalities who both died in 1963, is a treat to be enjoyed in this eye-opening performance. Ludus Tonaris" is Hindemith's "technique of fugue" and "law of averages" in which he explores the possibilities of counterpoint and tonality. It is an intensely abstract world. The third movement is a long funeral march. The sound has a feel similar to that of Hindemith, but the music is a whirlwind of concrete grief and exclamations, with an emotional swing that seems to resist something. King International
