Anyone looking for a fix of modern classical music should know that Hauschka is reliable; a master of prepared piano who on 'Foreign Landscapes' has enlisted 12-piece ensemble the Magik*Magik Orchestra. He arranges their orchestrations around his piano and the result is as dramatic as you could expect adding support to the lonely piano tinklings. If you're inclined to become absorbed you'll find yourself walking the grey dismal streets of seedy Paris, all brokenhearted that your beloved has ran off and joined the circus and is now doing the beast with two backs with the resident strongman who's curly moustache is far superior to your own. Suffice to say anyone that enjoys old Maxie, Yannie baby, Shnookums Johansen , and Sylvie will gobble this up into their big massive modern classical ears.
• New full-length from Hauschka.
• Prepared piano and strings from FatCat’s critically
acclaimed 130701 modern classical imprint.
• Features in national press confirmed, including a 1200 word Sunday Times feature on modern classical music.
