The second CD of the premiere recording of the complete piano works of contemporary American composer Gordon Sherwood;
Piano: Masha Dimitrieva

In the compositions for piano, Gordon Sherwood’s broad compositional oeuvre becomes clear:
The musical influences of his extensive travels throughout his life combine with compositional styles from the centuries to American jazz rhythms. And despite all the reminiscence, the special nature of the composer Gordon Sherwood, who surprises with something new, becomes clear again and again.
Characteristic of his early works for piano are atonal melodies with rapid rhythmic changes. Later, he complements these with jazz elements, creating extremely interesting links between different musical styles and epochs. Overall, polyphony occupies a special place in his piano works, which is due not least to his appreciation of Bach.
