(2CD)奇克·柯瑞亞 / 演奏會現場實況錄音 Chick Corea / Plays (2CD)

本輯將2018年於巴黎、柏林與Clearwater的現場演出，集結為兩張CD。從史卡拉第、蓋希文、莫札特、孟克到比爾•艾文斯以及自己的經典創作「Children's Song」，流暢的演奏中，處處讓人驚豔。其中還有兩位新一代鋼琴家Charles Heisser與Yaron Herman分別與大師即興彈奏二重奏樂曲。美妙的樂音演出，不論是古典或爵士樂迷，都是首選之作。

The latest addition to Chick’s remarkable discography is Plays, a captivating and intimate double album of solo performances. While he claims that, “Solo piano is lonely,” Chick finds himself in good company throughout these stellar performances, engaging with several of his favorite composers. The list of icons represents a wide swath of musical history, from the classical repertoire of Mozart and Chopin to formative jazz influences like Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans, on to the Great American Songbook classics, the bossa nova beauty of Jobim, and the modern pop sensibility of Stevie Wonder. With countless classics having become standards over the last half century, Corea himself deserves to take his place in that pantheon, and Plays includes a number of pieces – reprised from past albums or spontaneously improvised – from his own estimable songbook. The album also showcases his charming rapport with enthusiastic audiences in concert halls across Europe and the U.S., who become integral collaborators in these spirited renditions.
