When I embarked on my George Walker journey, it was with a sense of deep purpose. It made no sense to me that the music of a composer of this magnitude was not yet widely performed and recorded. I heard something in his music that was different than what I experienced in the few available recordings and felt compelled to share my individual vision with a wide audience. With the support of the great Naxos team, I am proud to be the first pianist to have recorded George Walker's complete solo piano works, in addition to the piano concerto. The experience of learning, performing, and recording Walker's complete piano output created a unique interpretation of these works. Vol. 1 has now been submitted for GRAMMY® nomination (Best Classical Instrumental Solo). The deadline to vote is October 15th.
… Dossin continually brings out subtleties in Walker’s scores that are inherent but not always stated by other pianists, yet he does so in a way that does not distort the music, and that is the important difference. A five-star disc!
Alexandre Dossin performs with both passion and authority. This is his project – and he’s invested in the results. Even when Walker’s at his most intellectual Dossin’s playing conveys real emotion.
I am very much looking forward to the second volume.
[…] This album is essential for anyone with the slightest interest in Walker’s music.
[Alexandre Dossin] has everything it takes to bring these demanding scores into the spotlight.
…Alexandre Dossin shows himself to be an accomplished interpreter, making Walker’s tonal language his own with his flexible and sensitive playing.
