Music Chamber

EAST showcases the works of London based German Composer, Pianist and Teacher Peter Feuchtwanger. The repertoire on the CD, all for solo Piano, is inspired exclusively by Eastern folk and art music. Extraordinarily inventive use of Piano sonority, texture and pedalling are used to suggest Arabic, Indian and other Eastern instruments, styles and scales. Peter has taught many of the greats like Argerich and Cherassky with a special approach to posture and fingering to prevent repetitive strain injuries. His composition Variations on an Eastern Folk tune won the International Viotti Competition. EAST is the first release devoted entirely to Feuchtwanger's music and reviewers have described Haydn's performances as "Revelations of Supreme Pianistic Virtuosity".
