Ariel Quartet & Orion Weiss
The Ariel Quartet got to know the brilliant young pianist Orion Weiss when they studied together as teenagers at the Perlman Music Program. They’re all now in their mid-30s, their careers have blossomed, and they’ve continued to collaborate regularly. In addition to offering the standard piano quintets from Dvorak, Brahms, and Schumann, they offer rarely heard masterpieces by Bloch, Korngold, and Dohnányi.
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.
