Review by daniele moura

The album "Floating Drifting" featuring Ian Pace, Simon Limbrick, and a range of composers including György Ligeti, Michael Zev Gordon, John Luther Adams, Luciano Berio, and Michael Pisaro is a stunning collection of contemporary classical pieces. The musicians showcase their technical mastery and artistry as they navigate the intricate and often challenging compositions.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Études" by György Ligeti to the mesmerizing "In a Treeless Place, Only Snow" by John Luther Adams, each piece on the album is a unique and captivating journey for the listener. The use of unconventional instruments such as found objects and prepared piano in Michael Pisaro's "Melody, Silence" adds an experimental quality to the album, while the more traditional instrumentation in Luciano Berio's "Sequenza XIV" showcases the versatility of the performers.

About Ian Pace , Simon Limbrick György Ligeti, Michael Zev Gordon, John Luther Adams, Luciano Berio, Michael Pisaro

Ian Pace is a pianist of long-established reputation, specialising in the farthest reaches of musical modernism and transcendental virtuosity, as well as a writer and musicologist focusing on issues of performance, music and society and the avant-garde. He was born in Hartlepool, England in 1968, and studied at Chethams School of Music, The Queens College, Oxford and, as a Fulbright Scholar, at the Juilliard School in New York. His main teacher, and a major influence upon his work, was the Hungarian pianist György Sándor, a student of Bartók. Based in London since 1993, he has pursued an active international career, performing throughout Britain, Europe and the US. His absolutely vast repertoire of all periods focuses particularly upon music of the 20th and 21st Century, including a wide range of works by contemporary British, French, German and Italian and other composers as well as the classics of modern music by composers such as Boulez, Stockhausen, Barraque, Xenakis, Ligeti, Nono, Kagel and Cage. He has given world premieres of over 100 pieces for solo piano, including works by Richard Barrett, Luc Brewaeys, William Brooks, Aaron Cassidy, James Clarke, James Dillon, Gordon Downie, Pascal Dusapin, Brian Ferneyhough, Michael Finnissy (whose complete piano works he performed in a landmark 6-concert series in 1996), Christopher Fox, Volker Heyn, Wieland Hoban, Hilda Paredes, Alwynne Pritchard, Horatiu Radulescu, Frederic Rzewski, Thoma Simaku, Howard Skempton, Gerhard Stäbler, Serge Verstockt, Jay Allan Yim and Walter Zimmermann. He is renowned for ambitious and ingenious programming, and for his ability to surmount the most transcendental of pianistic challenges. He has presented cycles of works including Stockhausens Klavierstücke I-X, and the piano works of Ferneyhough, Fox, Kagel, Ligeti, Lachenmann, Messiaen, Radulescu, Rihm and Skempton. His many performances of the standard piano literature combine elements derived from historical performance research with a modernist perspective to produce often startingly original interpretations. In addition to his activities as a soloist, Ian is the Artistic Director of the ensemble Topologies and regularly plays with other soloists and groups, most notably the Arditti Quartet.
