American pianist Bruce Brubaker recreates for piano several of Brian Eno’s seminal ambient works in “Eno Piano”.
The American pianist Bruce Brubaker trained as a concert pianist at the famous Juilliard School in New York and has also had a long career as a teacher at many of the world’s leading conservatories. As a performer, in addition to Mozart, Haydn, Brahms and Messiaen, he is renowned for his interpretations of minimalist music. Now he has released on InFiné Music Eno Piano -just three weeks after the British composer received the Golden Lion at the Venice Music Biennale-, an album of piano versions of some of his most emblematic works, stripping them down even further to bring out their full gravitational force of attraction.
