The Intermissions · Svetozar Ivanov, piano is a masterful exploration of the works of Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach. On this album, Svetozar Ivanov juxtaposes Beethoven's last Piano Sonata in C Minor op. 111 and Contrapunctus I from J. S. Bach's last work The Art of Fugue with Mozart's Sonata K. 330 in C Major. To complete this journey through the classical repertoire, Svetozar also performs four Intermissions by the American avant-garde composer Morton Feldman, providing a peaceful and timeless soundscape.
The album cover displays one of Edward Hopper’s last paintings Intermission, a powerful representation of a solitary figure in a public space.
Intermissions is Svetozar Ivanov’s fifth solo album with Gega New. In a fast-paced world where one rarely listens to an entire disc, he keeps producing albums with unifying feel and pace, ones that ideally should be experienced as a complete concert.
