Composed between 2020 and 2024, Alea Iacta Est (The die is cast) is one of Zorn's most demanding masterpieces: a complex and varied piano concerto that explores the full range of moods, styles, and tempos. Performed with brilliance by four of the most loyal and passionate interpreters of his work - the trio Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder and Ches Smith, with the exceptional participation of Sae Hashimoto on vibraphone on one track - this striking new opus is an essential piece of the Zorn puzzle. Breathtaking!
