Szilard Mezei

• DIGIPACK EDITION

This performance is a second coming together of a rather unusual but wonderful pair; Dame Evelyn Glennie, a household name in percussion, and Szila´rd Mezei, a prolific free improviser, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. In 2018, these two artists came together in the Core-tet Project, one of Dame Evelyn’s significant forays into free improvisation.

Since then, she also worked with TRIO HLK, but this live performance with Mezei and his quartet is a much different kind of performing for her. While many of Dame Evelyn’s audiences flock to listen to her play as well as establish canon as the most preeminent soloist in her field, this recording demonstrates something altogether different. These two impromptu creations present her as an excellent collaborator in real time.
