Hammerklavier by Moritz Eggert (CD, 1997 Wergo) Piano Miniatures/German Import

Description: Moritz Eggert, is considered one of the most versatile and adventurous voices of contemporary music. Born in Heidelberg and growing up in Heidelberg, Mannheim and Frankfurt am Main he was already playing keyboard in various Rock and Jazz Ensembles during school, followed by academic studies as a classical pianist and composer. From the beginning he worked in all musical genres as a composer – his list of works already encompasses more than 230 works, not only 11 evening-long operas but also several ballets and works for dance and music theatre, orchestral music, chamber and ensemble music, vocal and choir music (with a strong focus on “Lied”), church music, experimental and electronic music, instrumental concertos, music for children and youths, music for film and radio as well as radio plays and open air spectacles. He is a renowned and experienced pianist and has played countless premieres of his own and other works in Germany and abroad. Moritz Eggert’s music is performed worldwide, with pieces like his piano solo cycle Hämmerklavier already part of the repertoire of countless young pianists. “Hammerklavier” is a full-length cycle in which the composer sends the listener on a journey, a journey into the unknown: this journey presents itself as an act of unleashing, taking Eggert on a departure from the traditions of our planet. The title does not refer to a concert piano, nor to Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata, but to a specific manner of playing: the pianist does not only have to touch the keys, but to be a “performer” in the wider sense. Pieces I-XI have already appeared in two volumes (ED 8622 and ED 9137) and on a recording under WERGO (WER 6611-2) played by the composer.
