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 pedallingre used to suggest Arabic, Indian and other Eastern instruments, styles and scales. Peter is an extraordinarily interesting man - he has taught many of the greats like Argerich and Cherassky with a special approach to posture and fingering. His compositions include Variations on an Eastern Folk tune, that won the International Viotti Competition. Works by Feuchtwanger have been performed and occasionally recorded before - there was an early collaboration with Yehudi Menuhin and Ravi Shankar - but EAST is the first release devoted entirely to his music. Reviewers have described Haydn's performances as "Revelations of Supreme Pianistic Virtuosity".
