East-West-Central-South

A traveler between worlds, navigating between tradition and avant-garde, the highly acclaimed pianist Jan Gerdes exemplifies mastery in both realms. With his new GENUIN album, he more than lives up to his reputation as a fearless musical adventurer: he releases exciting, contemporary piano music by six composers from various countries in the African continent. Names like Clare Loveday, Andile Khumalo, or Bongani Ndodana-Breen urgently deserve our attention! Gerdes contributes with his brilliant recordings to a new focus that the increasingly internationalized music scene needs. Top marks for interpretation and repertoire value!
