Extract from the introduction to this CD (written by Jan Michiels): "And I can detect in Robert's music the pianistic virtuosity of a Liszt or Ravel piece, the refined sounds of Debussy, Stravinsky's rhytmical adventurousness, Lutoslawski's virtuosic molding of musical form, Goeyvaert's "rediscovered" tonality, and much more. But above all, I admire his masterful skill in distilling from all these influences language that leaves a unique, incommutable mpression on the listener and the performer. Robert Groslot has never allowed himself to be labelled - I have always admired how he has managed to combine performing, directing and composing." Quote from Robert Groslot (from the back cover of the booklet): "Strangely enough, these works were written after I was no longer active as a concert pianist. It seems that this withdrawal was imperative for me to develop an original pianistic sound in my own compositions. And in Jan Michiels I found an excellent ambassador. He plays my music with so much expterise and understanding, almost as if he wrote it himself". The complete booklet contains an introduction by Jan Michiels, an interview with Robert Groslot, and biographical information. It is free for download on the website of Groslot Music Editions (see link).
