Cornelius Claudio Kreusch - Zauberberg (2019)

The jazz pianist, composer and producer Cornelius Claudio Kreusch, whom the Boston Globe calls "a pianist that sounds like no other, infinitely intriguing to hear." She has released more than 20 albums under her own name and collaborated with artists such as Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Salif Keïta, Kenny Garrett, Bobby Watson or Greg Osby. The internationally sought-after musician is also successful as a festival maker, producer, music manager and entrepreneur. The Bayerischer Rundfunk once described it as follows: "This raging music alchemist, this obsessive quick-thinker, this eruptive clay manufacturer robs one of the senses and half the mind: then you can only take the hat off and capitulate." Kreusch rips all the piano tithons of the century whether they are called Tatum or Solal, Horowitz, Gould, Kühn, Hancock or Jarrett, into the thought vortex of his ludicrous virtuosity and with some old standards in mind, undertakes a daring key rally of constant metamorphoses, into the tremendous chain reaction of its sparkling, unbelievably creative imagination.
