Product Description

Tobias Picker - Keys to the City, works for Piano, CD
booklet writer: Picker, Tobias
interpreter: Oppens, Ursula
interpreter: Picker, Tobias
composer: Picker, Tobias
Publisher: Wergo
New York City native Tobias Picker was described by the "Wall Street Journal" as "our finest composer for the lyric stage" and by BBC Music Magazine as "displaying a distinctively soulful style that is one of the glories of the current musical scene."
The new WERGO recording with pianist Ursula Oppens traces an evolution in the composer's writing for piano from the virtuosic challenges of his "Four Etudes for Ursula" and the jazzy, urbane landscape of "Keys to the City" to the lyrical simplicity of "Old and Lost Rivers", "? when soft voices die ?", or "The Blue Hula". Listeners will also have a rare opportunity to hear the composer performing in the two piano version of "Keys to the City".
This CD with mostly first recordings will make an invaluable contribution to the discography of contemporary American music.

Exciting piano 6 Mar 2009
By River girl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this CD because I had enjoyed the orchestral version of -Old and Lost Rivers - When I heard the piano rendition on Serius/XL radio I knew I wanted to have the CD. As it turned out - Old and Lost Rivers - is unlike most of the other selections on the CD in that is so lyrical. Having said that, I found the other pieces exciting and dynamic. I loved the way Picker explores the instrument and the way Ursula Oppens plays it.
