About
The German pianist and composer Christian Pabst – currently residing in Italy – presents his latest project Balbec.
Balbec is the name of an imaginary coastal town found in the monumental book In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust.
During the first Lockdown, Pabst immersed himself in the work and found musical inspiration. The protagonist of the book spends the summers of his youth in Balbec, where he reflects on our perception of time. A theme that greatly inspired Pabst, who as an artist, like many others, had experienced a period of standstill. The result is a rousing programme full of impressive compositions and passionate improvisations. Together with Jazz Echo award winner André Nendza on bass and Dutch drummer Erik Kooger, Pabst discovers new musical horizons. Framed by the hopeful esprit of the energetic songs, an imaginative story emerges that evokes a wide range of fulfilling emotions....
