The
sound files below feature Kemal Gekich
in concert in 2002. These are the only recordings available of his stunning
interpretations of the Chopin Etudes. Many of the other works found here
are given highly original, sometimes even extremely controversial interpretations.
Gekich is breaking new ground in digging deeper and deeper into the possible
meanings of these works, and how to render those meanings in sound. if
you cannot always agree with what he does, you are still compelled to listen
as he gives these works performances such as you have certainly never heard
before.
