mspiano - MSPIANO: My ears are in love... this "mspiano" has (almost) inspired me to drag out my Kurzweill PC 88 and lay down some improvised music (oh, wait, my Kurzweill is still on the ocean - be here soon). Only half kidding, though, because the kind of experimental music she plays here is just exactly what inspires creative people to create... just listen to "Duo mspiano & Bert Stephan 2010" - Bert's brass is a perfect complement to a gentle yet mysterious tune that sets the stage for far more to come (since she's from Deutschland, I'd love to hear her improvise with one of my favorite improvisers, Jeffrey Morgan, since he's based in Koln)! The wind/synth intro on "extremental" is absolutely fantastic, and her wandering keyboard behind, under & through it made it my favorite piece on the album. I am surely hoping she will produce more in the way of CD's, because this is exactly the kind of music (improvisational wonderment) that inspired me to start writing this magazine so many years ago. If you're looking for a tune that's a little more "piano-centric", you'll find "Absacker" very memorable, too. This music is the best improvised piano I've heard (yet) this year... totally engaging and full of the muse... I give it a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as well as making it the "PICK" of this issue for "best improvised piano work". Get more information at www. reverbnation. com/mspiano Rotcod Zzaj
"... Arrival ist ein Klangdialog, der auf technisch hohem Niveau und dennoch wohltuend frei ist von angestrengt ausgestellter Virtuosität... Das ist lyrisch, ruppig, erotisch, vertrackt, aggressiv und besänftigend... "

"... Ein weiterer Höhepunkt war das Konzert der S. W. am Sonnabend...
Freie Improvisationen, die jedoch nie den Boden des Jazz verließen,
erfüllten die Räumlichkeiten. Mal kräftig, mal leise flüsternd,
verzauberte das Spiel das Publikum.
Das Konzert wurde von vielen als eines der schönsten in der
Reihe der Sonderkonzerte der vergangenen Jahre gewertet.
Freie Presse Freiberg, April 2001 anlässlich Freiberger Jazztage
"... Tief grummelt das Cello, erzeugt Erwartung. Später bringt es klagende,
klopfend-rhythmische oder auch hektische Klänge hervor,
verbunden mit der beschwörenden Stimme der Cellistin Gesine Conrad.
Simone Weißenfels erzeugt derweil eine eigene Welt am Flügel
mit allen Nuancen weiblichen Temperaments.
Beide Frauen improvisieren, sind dabei völlig aufeinander eingestimmt
und äußerst diszipliniert... "

Press
"... unusual tone colors, dramatic change of tempos to racing
Speed entranced audience as a pianist to impressive final chord.
Simone Weißenfels has a special ambition to creative music,
to contemporary as well as to jazz.
For what it here... has done, any description of the
Superlatives to unidimensional.

about Shostakovich solo concert
"... Another highlight was the concert by Simone Weißenfels on Saturday...
Free improvisation, but never left the ground of jazz,
met the premises. Time vigorously, sometimes whispering softly,
enchanted the game for the audience.
The concert was seen by many as one of the finest in the Series of special concerts over the past years scored.

Low rumbles the cello, it creates expectations. Later it brings plaintiff,
- throbbing rhythmic sounds or hectic show
beged connected with the voice of the cellist Gesine Conrad.
Simone Weißenfels meanwhile produced its own world on the piano
with all the nuances of female temperament.
Both women improvise, are introduced to each other completely and highly disciplined...

. Appreciate your conclusion, the number of
Special concerts on 30. Juli 2000 with a dazzling Sunday,
in the piano music for four hands sounded:
S. Weißenfels and Stefan Altner (Managing Director of Thomas-Boy-Church-Choir) played works by Mozart, Reger, Kurtag and Schubert, all based on Bach music or Cher after their model works.
at the Bach Festival 2000 in Mendelssohn-Leipzig
In precisely this building took place on the evening of 9 November 2003 a memorable event against forgetting. It was the people dedicated to the certain death by the Nazis with the corridor could escape into exile and based in part on the reported exile with texts and compositions, with poetry and prose. "drived out music - songs from exile, " was the title of the event...
... Susanne Brachetti, soprano from Leipzig and a member of the Gewandhaus, and Simone Weißenfels, known as a jazz pianist, based on this evening as a serious pianist and avant-garde of modern music recommended that concerted sober atmosphere in the former synagogue...
Susanne Brachetti, apparently versed in the literature Schönberg, sang with expressive soprano opera this lyrical scores, with great surprise voice-volume and precise interpretation...
Again and again surprised Simone Weißenfels with listened play, she followed selfless text and voice with her instrument. With the piano piece by Anton Webern, avant-gardist and composer who dared, the limits of tonal music to exceed hers play was expressive and size of the radicalism of the weaver's composition...
The "Hollywood Songbook" by Hanns Eisler with texts by Bertolt Brecht again how great this voice of Brachetti, this interpretive soprano, text and music in his expression into account. And again the Weißenfels with reliable and discreet accompaniment.
Pleasure, where the company song from Marcellus Schiffer was presented and pleasure, where voice and instrument, always at a high level, concerted.
