The highly talented and versatile virtuoso, Yubo Zhou, delves deep into Widmann's world of sound with these four stirring piano cycles, revealing a whole cosmos of allusions and associations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Zirkustanze' ('Circus Dances') is a fascinating kaleidoscope of emotions and parodies filled with a danger the tightrope-walker may fall. Zhou takes us through unexpected twists and turns with the necessary lyricism and irony whether fanfare, boogiewoogie, waltz or Venetian gondoliers' song. The finale makes a mockery of a parade-ground march whose weird distortions Zhou hurls at the audience with overwhelming virtuosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Elf Humoresken' is a connotation-rich yet aesthetically self-contained transfer of Schumann's language into the musical idiom of the 21st century. Pieces such as 'Fast zu ernst' ('Almost Too Serious'), 'Lied im Traume' ('Song in a dream') or 'Waldszene' ('Forest scene') echo Schumann's 'Kinderszenen' and 'Waldszenen' with an imaginative mix of ingenuity and melancholic irony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Intermezzi' is Widmann's tribute to his love of Brahms. By way of a familiar melodic flourish, harmonic sequence or a tiny fragment of a motif, the allusions are yet remote from the nineteenth century and expressed in a tonal language of their own. 'Idyll und Abgrund' is a nod to Schubert, more reminiscence than pastiche, sometimes extremely vague, sometimes quite specific, and always distinguished by compositional and tonal extremes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJorg Widmann: Zirkustanze: Fanfare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoogie Woogie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErster Walzer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVier Strophen vom Heimweh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValse bavaroise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValse sentimentale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKinderreim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKarussell-Walzer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHebraische Melodie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVenezianisches Gondellied\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBayerische-babylonischer Marsch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdyll und Abgrund: I.
