Aki Takase, Ayumi Paul: Hotel Zauberberg
L'idea è quella di trasporre sul piano musicale la storia ed i personaggi del massimo capolavoro di Thomas Mann, "La montagna incantata." Aleggia così sul progetto l'aura musicale austro-germanica tanto amata dallo scrittore ed in particolare il riadattamento per pianoforte di temi bachiani e mozartiani. Il tutto viene intriso non di estetica jazzistica, ma di retaggio classico euro colto contemporaneo.
Piano e violino eseguono per lo più rigorosamente parti scritte, debitamente soggette a variazioni estemporanee. Il duo dà così vita ad un percorso musicale ispirato, suggestivo e coinvolgente per esaltare tutta la ricchezza timbrica degli strumenti impiegati. I lettori si chiederanno a questo punto cosa c'è di jazzistico in questo CD. La risposta risiede nella variazione continua della spazialità, del colore e della dinamica sonora da parte della Takase.
