London Jazz Festival
Experimental pianist Francesco Tristano and the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra perform Bach and Tristano's own 'free piano concerto' Island Nation at the 2016 EFG London Jazz Festival.
Hear exciting experimental pianist and composer Francesco Tristano in collaboration with the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra under the baton of its Principal Conductor Keith Lockhart. Causing as much of a stir in the club scene as in classical concert halls, Tristano works across the electronic and Baroque, dance music and the avant-garde and is a committed disregarder of limits and rigid practices in music.
This concert, recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival, opens with a virtuoso performance of Bach's Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052 followed by Tristano's own solo study 'La franciscana', based on Balkan composite rhythm, which has become a cult classic in his repertoire and a crowd favourite - always requested in shows.
The concert closes with the UK premiere of Tristano's own largely improvised 'free piano concert' Island Nation, which makes several references to electronic dance music, while being written in the symphonic idiom.
