Product Description Fugue State, pianist Alan Feinbergs encore album follow-up to his celebrated 2013 Steinway release, Basically Bull, is an excursion into the surprisingly passionate world of fugal composition in the High Baroque Era. This project evolved from a love of the form and a sense of the composers heartfelt involvement with it. The connectivity or cross-pollination of these composers is real and is rarely presented in the piano world. There are many musical connections for the listener to perceive, especially with more familiarity. Fugues are not constructed to surrender their secrets upon superficial acquaintance. Even when the musical content is similar, each composer has a unique style that is intriguingly personal. Ive sought to highlight this through the selection of presentation. (Alan Feinberg) Mr. Feinberg has received four Grammy nominations and has been widely acclaimed for his musical versatility, stylistic breadth of repertoire, and innovative programming. Review "A champion of contemporary music, this American pianist has won acclaim for adventurous programs pairing old and new works. This recording is an adventure of another kind. He plays 14 fugues by composers from two generations of the high Baroque. Along with Bach, whose presence here is of course expected, he plays works by Handel, Buxtehude, Froberger and both Scarlattis: father Alessandro and son Domenico. Surprising cross-generational similarities come through between the masterly Bach fugues and the intricate earlier ones of Froberger and Buxtehude. Heard in this context, Handel\'s ingenious fugues sound wonderfully clearheaded and uncluttered. Mr. Feinberg ends with Bach\'s "Ricercar a 6" from "The Musical Offering," an elaborate work in six voices in which Bach quotes from his "Well-Tempered Clavier." The playing throughout has elegance, color and clarity. These diverse fugues come across like character pieces, which is, as Mr. Feinberg writes in his liner notes, the way he thinks of them." --Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times, July 2015 " There is something inherently quixotic in Alan Feinberg\'s new Steinway & Sons release, Fugue State. It features 14 wonderful fugues, fascinating in their variety and their exploration of contrapuntal and expressive principles, by some of the greatest practitioners of the form in musical history, all played with great skill..." --infodad.com, July 23, 2015
