New Music: Chris Thaler – Perspective

I first discovered Swiss pianist Chris Thaler at the end of last year – now he’s back with new piece, Perspective.

By Jane Howkins

Perspective is a delightful piece of music, seeing Chris’ hands simply dance across the piano here. Of course, it’s more of a neoclassical tune than a traditional classical piece, but there’s enough here for the piano purists to enjoy anyway. As the piece progresses, Chris introduces several new movements, including a divine flowing melody around halfway through, also acting in a nice rhythmic manner. If you’ve not discovered Chris’ music yet, then Perspective is a great starting off point!
