Gottlieb Wallisch — 20th Century Foxtrots, Vol. 3: Central & Eastern Europe (2021)

Gramophones and radios brought the voice of America, its fashion, its carelessness and joie de vivre into every corner of Europe during the Roaring Twenties, and no composer could remain immune to the hot jazz influences of the Foxtrot, Shimmy and Charleston. This third volume of jazzy piano dances features composers from nine Central and Eastern European countries, from Misha Spoliansky\’s hypnotising Valse Boston \»Morphium\» to Leonid Polovinkin\’s extremely entertaining and refreshingly futuristic approach to the genre. Gottlieb Wallisch continues his \»most surprising and consistently chag recording project\» (The New York s about the second volume). This recording was made on a Steinway D piano.
