Pianist Joana Gama perform’s “The Book of Sounda” by Hans Otte.
Written between 1979 and 1982, The Book of Sounds (Das Buch der Klänge) is Hans Otte's masterpiece and a moment of rare clarity in 20th century artistic creation. Almost four decades after its premiere, this composition for piano solo remains hidden from the general public, like a treasure to be shared from hand to hand in a chain of appreciation. The discovery astonishes new audiences and opens doors to a flourish that also reveals many of our own conquests.
