Anat Fort: A Long Story
by J Hunter
My first exposure to the ECM milieu--the singular look, the sharp sound, the hypnotic music--was with Keith Jarrett's 1975 opus The Köln Concert.

Some guy named Manfred Eicher was ...

by Martin Gladu
Notes twirl with thrilling beauty in Anat Fort's hands. Infused of the free jazz and 20th Century classical music aesthetics (especially the Second Viennese school), A Long Story, her first effort for ECM, successfully captures a talent of rare profundity and breadth.

Like her playing, her compositions can straddle diverse worlds and impress with a sensitivity that is comfortable with tales ...

by John Kelman
There are those who dream of the perfect group, but it's rare for an artist to get it so right the first time. A Long Story isn't exactly Anat Fort's first record (which was her self-released 1999 album Peel), but it's the Israeli expat's first to reach an international audience. Most people will find it their ...

Ci si commuove alle prime note di A Long Story. Per la bellezza del suono, per la tenerezza delle melodie, per la delicatezza del tocco, per la discrezione e la profondità spirituale della musica. Si presenta così Anat Fort, giovane pianista uscita da quella fucina di talenti che si sta rivelando, da qualche anno a questa ...
