This CD features the most important piano works that Duke
Ellington (1899 - 1974) wrote between 1913 and 1973. While
remaining close to the original manuscripts, the performances are
fresh and inventive, meeting the challenge of balancing faithfulness
to the written score with the interpreter’s own inspiration and
creativeness.
The pieces on the programme trace Ellington’s stylistic development
in all its variety.
Luigi Palombi brings added value to the recording with his
intellectual curiosity and experience in a wide range of musical
settings, from chamber to orchestral, with the Jazz Discovery
Ensemble. |
