Orion Weiss | Arc II: Ravel, Brahms, Shostakovich
Acclaimed pianist Orion Weiss released his newest album, Arc II: Ravel, Brahms, Shostakovich in November 2022 on First Hand Records. Featuring performances of Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Schumann and Chorale Preludes Nos. 10 & 11, and Shostakovich’s Piano Sonata No. 2, Arc II is the second album of a three-part series and strives to understand the varying ways composers comprehend grief, loss, and death. In this combination of works, Weiss follows the paths these composers walked in their own grief as their tracks lead us from death back towards life, from horror to hope.
