In this volume we discover how composers in England, Scotland, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries responded to the waves of jazz and syncopated dance music that had crossed the Atlantic and captivated European audiences. The album features a wide selection of famous and less well-known composers who each succeed in combining the authentic energising rhythms of foxtrots, tangos and shimmies with their own unique styles. Gottlieb Wallisch’s seventh and final volume in this acclaimed series features many unknown gems and world première recordings.

Born in 1978 in Vienna, pianist Gottlieb Wallisch made his concert debut at age seven and performed at the Vienna Musikverein by twelve. His international career was launched in 1996 when, at seventeen, he played Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto under Yehudi Menuhin. Since then, he has performed at major venues such as Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, and the Salzburg Festival, collaborating with leading conductors like Giuseppe Sinopoli, Sir Neville Marriner, and Kirill Petrenko. Wallisch has appeared with prominent orchestras including the Vienna Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, earning acclaim for his interpretations across Europe, Asia, and the U.S.
