Dream / Various – Dream [CD]

In his new GENUIN album, pianist Jrgen Geiger, who has appeared throughout Europe, explores the distinctions between composition, improvisation, creation, and re-creation. He presents virtuoso piano literature, including his own compositions and transcriptions. Among such arrangements are Saint-Sans’ Le rouet d’Omphale, one of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies, and Mendelssohn’s Auf Flgeln des Gesangs. Geiger’s own music follows in the tradition of his role models Leopold Godowsky and Vladimir Horowitz, both of whom are represented here. The young pianist performs them with outstanding technique and a great sense of sound. A truly opulent menu for the piano!
