Description:
Nowadays the most obvious certainties of yesteryear are at stake. During the worldwide financial collapse of 2008, I heard a reporter on Wall Street say that ‘the sky isn’t falling’. The image of a falling sky was an inspiring metaphor during the composition process.
Listening to a symphony orchestra is often a nostalgic experience for me, because most of the repertoire dates from long ago and the orchestra itself hasn’t changed much in 200 years. So I try not to force the orchestra into something it is not. In my opinion, a symphony orchestra is a beautiful coach, not a car.
My second piano concerto may sound neo-classical, but it was also influenced by the blues, like the Hoochie Coochie Man groove in the first tutti. And then there are the perpetuum structures of bouncing second intervals. The recording of the premiere was released on JacobTV – The Complete Piano Solo Music, Brilliant Classics.
