The pianist Alexandra Sostmann is not only known for her polished Bach playing, but also for her developments and cross-connections in concert and CD programmes that trace the history of music.
In her latest CD recording, she remains true to this line when she spans from the Baroque to the present day, from Bach to Toshio Hosokawa. In doing so, she endeavours to shed light on the concept of music as a medium between immanence and transcendence that can be found in almost every culture.
It is above all the transformations and transitions reflected in music that fascinate the pianist. But silence also plays an important role – as an integral part of music and as a cipher for what cannot be said with words.
