Midwinter Spring: Kancheli - Pärt - Vasks
Digifile CD
“Five years have passed since the publication of my collection of miniatures entitled Simple Music for Piano. In this period I have had the good fortune to hear diverse interpretations of these pieces by various artists. However, the recording of 16 miniatures by Mr. Stella has surprised me in a particularly pleasurable way.
Not being a professional pianist myself, I once decided to record several of the miniatures in accordance with the imagination of their author. The way in which Mr. Stella approaches “the simple music" very closely coincides with my own perception, while thoroughly eclipsing my modest abilities as interpreter.
I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Stella for his subtle attitude towards material, tempos, pauses, nuances and his choice of the sequence, which ultimately shapes this distinctive and highly enjoyable listening experience.”
