Lonely shadows

Description

After making a splash within Maciej Obara's quartet in the two highly acclaimed albums the group recorded for ECM (Unloved, Three Crowns), Polish pianist Dominik Wania delivers here a solo album recorded in November 2019 in Lugano. Whether in his relationship to touch, harmony, or sound textures, Wania reveals nothing of his training and classical heritage. But he is also endowed with that instinctive relationship to the moment that makes great improvisers. Focused on the smallest details of the music, Dominik Wania, in the collected atmosphere of the Auditorio Stelio Molo studio, manages to find the ideal balance between these two disciplines and immediately establishes himself as one of the most personal pianists of his generation. Produced by Manfred Eicher, Lonely Shadows is a masterful testament to his originality and creativity, which adds to the great solo piano recordings that have made ECM legendary. Revelation!
