Piano Solo: Complete Concert in Germany

内容紹介

Recorded in Frankfurt, Germany on the last night of a triumphant tour, Michel Petrucciani's Solo Live CD has gone on to become one of his most successful and best loved recordings.

Upon it's original release, DownBeat Magazine touted it as "one of those rare performances in which every note seems felt, and literally sings with passion. If you want a fond keepsake of a pianist whose passing has left a gaping hole in many hearts. . .pick up this live album of a breathtaking 1997 solo concert in Frankfurt." Critic Clarke Bustard proclaimed Solo Live "...one of the essential jazz piano recordings of the decade."

On this new edition, Dreyfus has made available the full, unedited concert giving us an unprecedented opportunity to grasp the unique talent of Michel Petrucciani.

With 35 minutes of exclusive tracks, never before published, Piano Solo - The Complete Concert in Germany has the artist performing for "high stakes" in the solo format. Michel liked to say that he played at a "world championship" level (to ward off his stage fright), and this recording is certainly evidence of this.

No one in the history of great pianists/composers/performers had to fight such a physical handicap, where pain was always present. He developed such a unique touch, and an improbably strength. Listen to Piano Solo and be amazed!
