nuscope CD 1014 Fantasiestücke I-XIII
Georg Graewe
Fantasiestücke I-XIII is the third solo CD by German pianist Georg Graewe, and is by far his most artistically realized.
This beautiful-sounding CD, which was recorded in Köln, Germany for West German radio (WDR), features Graewe on a fantastic Hamburg Steinway D concert grand piano.
According to Fred Van Hove, “Georg Graewe is far from an unprepared piano player. His sound is broad and round, his touch is bright, and his phrases are very well articulated. No doubt, he is a master of the instrument. The music is improvised in a non-idiomatic way. Georg’s fantasy pieces - one 7 minutes long, the others between 2 and 5 minutes - all seem to end abruptly. They could stop there; they could have been longer or shorter; their length is indefinite. Free improvisation is as adventurous as before - now it has become adult, and Georg proves it.”
Well-known and respected modern classical interpreter and occasional improviser Herbert Henck says the following about Fantasiestücke I-XIII: "The music is very original, and I really must congratulated to these intensive, concentrated, and often dramatic recordings. Even if I know the circumstances of radio productions in Cologne too well, Georg Graewe is obviously not afflicted, disturbed and limited by them, always has his head on his shoulders and seems to have the piano under perfect control. (9/4/03)"
Bruce Gallanter of the Downtown Music Gallery says, "This is his (Graewe's) fifth release for the splendid nuscope label and as always, it is beautifully recorded and features elegant artwork. This music is rich and varied, melancholy and haunting, exquisite and dream-like, rambunctious and gnarly, spirited and free-flowing, often dazzling, and occasionally intense."
This release features an 8-page booklet with liner notes from Fred Van Hove and Hans Falb, and striking cover art by the celebrated Köln-based artist Gerhard Richter

These 13 "fantasies" -- actually impromptu/improvised pieces for solo piano -- account for one of the most moving and intensely focused recordings in Georg Graewe's oeuvre. Virtually every piece here is steeped in the kind of immediacy that can only be expressed when one's discipline is equal to that of his inspiration and technique. Graewe's development as an improviser and as a composer can be traced in his sense of aesthetics. His tone has become more rounded and full, allowing each note its full measure on the keys before moving on with his ideas. His "neatness" is not fastidious, but poetic. Most of the pieces here range between two and a half and five minutes, with one or two shorter and one, number 11, lasting just over seven minutes. There are many chromatic schemes at work here, textural placements and extrapolations as harmonic ideas are stretched along the keyboard before giving way to articulations and impressions of melody as it stands outside the notions of rhythm and time in a kind of impure space. The feeling of these pieces is consistently direct, never ponderous or uncertain; these are not so much explorations, but articulations of a musical mind that thinks beyond the monument, yet serves his aesthetic at all times. This is a brilliant and necessary recording for anyone interested in either modern piano music or the new improv work, or for the cynic who believes that improvisation is a dirty word and has never moved beyond the angry free jazz of the 1960s. Listen and be awed. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Editorial Reviews
These 13 dynamic piano pieces are entirely and freely improvised...Graewe cultivates a particular mood or manner and allows it to unfurl, digress, mutate or evaporate.
