Sit Down and Listen – piano 94

Sit down and listen is The definitive CD of New Consonant Music!

Pianist Mireille Gleizes brings together a richly diverse programme that encapsulates the spirit of the New Consonant Music movement. The recording features:

• Quatre Préludes by Jörg Knittel
• Variações “Frère Jacques” by Osvaldo Lacerda Morozowicz
• Quatrième Suite by Georgs Pelēcis
• Monochrone by Michel Lysight
• Três Contos de Cortázar by Gilberto Mendes
• Deuxième Sonate by Piotr Lachert
• Adagio, the famous one, of course by Boudewijn Buckinx

This disc was recorded in the renowned Studio 4 at the Flagey building in Brussels, in co-production with BRTN (Belgian Radio and Television, Flemish section), under the artistic direction of Mikhaïl Bezverkhny, First Prize laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition.

A landmark anthology, this album offers a radiant panorama of late 20th-century and early 21st-century pianistic innovation within the New Consonant aesthetic.
