Aleck Karis

  • Aleck Karis brings fresh insights to Debussy

    Nov 9th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Aleck Karis, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Classical piano, Claude Debussy

    There are plenty of Debussy recordings made by artists past and present — so what makes this release different? Two things, I think; Aleck Karis’ musicality and Bridge Records’ skill at piano recordings. Right from the opening Etude, I was impressed. Pour Les “Cinq Doigts”: D’après Monsieur Czerny starts off with a simple scale but […]

  • Morton Feldman – For John Cage

    Nov 2nd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Aleck Karis, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Erik Carlson, John Cage, Morton Feldman

    “For John Cage” is one of the seven musical portraits Morton Feldman composed for friends. And it’s the third issued by Bridge Records. “For John Cage” doesn’t quote any of Cage’s music, but Feldman perfectly captures his aesthetic, I think. This 71-minute piece draws the listener in, and heightens their awareness of the ambient sounds […]

Karis plays with a lightness of tone and just the right amount of emotional restraint to make these works sound absolutely charming. And Karis pays just as much attention to the program. The works aren’t arranged chronologically, but rather in a […]

  • Morton Feldman – Suspended in Time

    Jun 1st, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Aleck Karis, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Christopher Finckel, contemporary classical music, Curtis Macomber, Danielle Farina, Morton Feldman

    Late in his career Morton Feldman became fascinated with the extremes of duration. This 1987 work, Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello comes from that period and clocks in at 75;13. It’s not his longest work, the 6-hour 2nd String Quartet holds that honor. But its length does make some demands — and has some effect — […]
