about

Himmelsrichtungen (Cardinal Points), are six piano pieces composed and performed by Juan María Solare (an Argentine pianist who lives in Germany).

The title Himmelsrichtungen, literally "directions of the sky", means actually "cardinal points". Usually they are four, but the composer added two (zenith and nadir), because they determine the third dimension: we are not more conceiving a bidimensional world, but a tridimensional one. This represents the overcoming, the generalization of the system (of any system). The cover art (by Alban Low, London) echoes this idea of three-dimensionality.

The musical language integrates tonality (more traditional pieces) and post-tonality (more experimental). This album, which can be filed under the genre contemporary classical (neo-classical), offers an accessible avant-garde sound with a transparent "melocentric" approach.
