With his critically acclaimed AVIE Records releases of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Gabriel Fauré and Sergei Rachmaninov to his credit, the celebrated British pianist Charles Owen scales the heights of Franz Liszt’s anthology Années de pèlerinage, Première année: Suisse (“Years of Travel, First Year: Switzerland”), which evokes the great 19th-century pianist-composer’s Swiss sojourns with aural impressions of the Alpine landscape, its peaks and valleys, mountains and streams, and the country’s distinctive folk music. Literary references abound as they do in the album’s concluding piece, the emotional Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude (“The Blessing of God in Solitude”) which was inspired by a poem penned by Liszt’s friend Alphonse de Lamartine. Emotions ran equally high for Charles Owen who turned to Liszt during lockdown. The uncertainty of being homebound throughout the pandemic was eased by the extra meaning and solace of the composer’s evocations of journeying, experiencing the natural world and its sense of beauty and liberation.

Götz Alsmann is back. With a brand new, "L.I.E.B.E." titled studio album, his sixth overall for the renowned jazz label Blue Note. Of course he was never gone. But in recent years the master of the German jazz hit has shown himself to be more internationally oriented musically on records and in live concerts. First “In Paris” (2011), then “On Broadway” (2014) and most recently “In Rom” (2017) he explored the song worlds of these metropolises and countries, always congenially provided with corresponding German lyrics.
