Alexandra Sostmann – Grenzgange: Frescobaldi To Part (2021) [FLAC 24bit/48kHz]

“Grenzgang – Crossing borders: Wandering between different worlds – In this music, border crossings become audible to me: from baroque to contemporary music, from music to religion, from the secular to the divine. That is why it is also about life and death, resurrection, enlightenment and remembrance – as in Bach’s Chaconne in memory of his first wife Maria Barbara Bach”.

With these words, pianist Alexandra Sostmann describes her album “Grenzg”ange,” which was co-produced with Bayerischer Runfunk.

Already in the very first piece of the album, the melody advances upward with triumphant gesture, supported by several octaves from the depths of the concert grand. But already in the next moment the majestic gesture fades. The music turns to the reflective, a dab of minor colors the end of the phrase. Nothing remains as it is, for example in the Passacaglia for organ by Girolamo Frescobaldi, which Ottorino Respighi arranged for piano in 1917. About three hundred years separate the two composers – and several epochs of music history. While the baroque original sways in a triple rhythm, Respighi’s interpretation impresses with late romantic force. Music is change. Every arrangement adds a perspective to the view of a work. This recording traces the developments that clavier music – keyboard instruments were commonly called “clavier” in the Baroque period – has taken over the past four centuries: through arrangements, through altered instrumentation, or interpretations based on new listening experiences. A fascinating musical journey from the beginnings of music for keyboard instruments to the composers of our day.
