About

Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff assimilated the influence of Jazz with genuinely distinctive results. The Fünf Pittoresken absorb both Dada and Scott Joplin whilst more classicist influences, such as Ravel, suffuse the Second Piano Sonata. Esquisses de Jazz (1927) is perhaps his most outstanding Jazz-influenced piece – a perfect synthesis of dance rhythms, wit and irony.

A prize-winner at the Busoni, German Chopin and Schubert competitions, Caroline Weichert’s double victory at the ‘Young Artists’ Concerts’ competition, organized by the German Musikrat, was decisive in launching her career. She has appeared regularly as a soloist with orchestras such as the Baden-Baden Philharmonic, Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie and the Telekom-Orchester, and has given numerous recitals and chamber music concerts, showing a particular affinity for lesser known repertoire. She received a Discobole award from the Académie du Disque Français for her recording début featuring works by Shostakovich in 2007.

The recording is of the top rank, delivering believable presence. Fascinating repertoire, expertly performed and recorded.“ – International Piano on Vol.1
