.. Fugues Op. 87 / Works By Shostakovich/ Stevenson |
| | Description: | The new album â??On DSCHâ? by Igor Levit is a x3 CD discographic tour de force by â??one of the essential artists of our timeâ? (The New York Times). That the self-styled â??maximalistâ? enjoys pushing himself to his limits â?? intellectually and physically â?? is well known, but the present project â?? two key cycles of musical modernism - puts all others in the shade. Levit is one of the few pianists who have performed these works live in their entirety. When Levit performed Shostakovichâ??s Twenty-Four Preludes and Fugues for the first time at the 2017 Salzburg Festival, the Neue ZĂźrcher Zeitung described the occasion as a â??major event in the musical worldâ?.
In May 2019, Levitâ??s performance of Stevensonâ??s Passacaglia on DSCH in Londonâ??s Wigmore Hall prompted the Guardian to opine that it was unlikely that the work â??has ever been played betterâ?. Completed in 1951, Dmitri Shostakovichâ??s 24 Preludes and Fugues â?? a summary of all the major and minor tonalities â?? lasts some two and a half hours in total, while Ronald Stevensonâ??s Passacaglia on DSCH, which he completed in 1963, is an unbroken set of variations lasting nearly an hour and a half. The letters DSCH spell out Shostakovichâ??s musical monogram using their German note names: Dâ??Esâ??Câ??H = Dâ??Eâ?â??Câ??B. Levit himself describes the 24 Preludes and Fugues as â??a kind of musical diaryâ?: â??There is something utterly uniqueâ?, he says, â??about this combination of warmth, immediacy and pure loneliness. For me, it is a ritual of self-exploration and self-discovery that deals with the most intimate questions.â?
Ronald Stevenson (1928â??2015), was a Scottish composer for whom the DSCH motif provided the basis for a spectacular survey of all manner of pianistic and stylistic possibilities over a span of more than three hundred variations. â??The Passacagliaâ?, Levit believes, â??is a veritable compendium of life, a kind of music that tells us of our responsibility towards the world as a whole.â? The albumâ??s artwork is specially created by the internationally renowned graphic artist and book designer Christoph Niemann, who regularly illustrates for â??The New Yorkerâ? and â??The New York Timesâ?. His illustration for â??On DSCHâ? offers a playfully abstract counterpart to this musical experience. - .. FUGUES OP. 87 / WORKS BY SHOSTAKOVICH/STEVENSONThree CD set.
