The six composers featured in Montage are among today's most sought-after creators of film music. (They have amply demonstrated their skill at creating mood and propelling action for a mass audience.) But when working away from the movie screen, what melodies, harmonies, and cadences might haunt their private dreams? Gloria Cheng offers an answer to those questions with first recordings of their new works for solo piano, "a medium that can often reveal a composer’s truest voice."

Les six compositeurs réunis sur Montage sont des figures de proue de la création musicale pour le cinéma. Tous ont largement fait la preuve de leur talent pour créer des ambiances et faire avancer l'action au grand plaisir de tous les publics. Mais, loin des écrans, quelles mélodies, quelles harmonies, quelles cadences hantent leur imaginaire? Gloria Cheng propose une réponse avec cet enregistrement d'œuvres pour piano seul, l'instrument qui "est souvent le plus fidèle révélateur de la véritable voix d'un compositeur."

Die sechs auf Montage vertretenen Komponisten zählen zu den gefragtesten Tonschöpfern von Filmmusik unserer Zeit. (Sie haben oft genug unter Beweis gestellt, dass sie es verstehen, für ein Massenpublikum Stimmung erzeugende und die Handlung vorantreibende Musik zu schreiben.) Aber welche Melodien, Klänge und Rhythmen gehen ihnen durch den Kopf, wenn sie anderes als Filmmusik schreiben? Mit Ersteinspielungen neukomponierter Werke für Soloklavier, "ein Instrument, das sich als das wahrhaftigste Ausdrucksmedium eines Komponisten erweisen kann", gibt Gloria Cheng darauf die Antwort.
