The piano is suited to express ideas, thoughts, emotions directly through music and to develop these in improvisation. It can also serve to work out musical structures in detail as a composition and depict them multi-dimensionally. It can, as Rubinstein put it, be „an orchestra of a 100 instruments",but also a melody instrument, a percussion instrument or an instrument for harmonic accompaniement.
Press Quotes
Miniature orchestras on their own, the piano's broadened palate can be used expressively in many manners. Colson and Lüdemann have come up with two high-quality variants.
—Ken Waxman, jazzword.com
Recorded in 2013 at a live performance at LOFT Köln , Lüdemann goes about his business of crafting sharp melodies and then elaborating upon them endlessly. The actual doses vary, but there's a solemn tone to all of it.
—Dave Sumner, birdistheworm.com
Das Reale Klavier is an album of quality modern piano music, dense, complex and at times stunningly beautiful.
—Robert Iannapollo, Cadence
If you dig Jarrett, it's safe to say you'll dig Ludemann. And if you dig all that, you'll dig his dramatic, fearless playing throughout.
