Titans by Mischa Blanos

"Titans" is a solo contemporary classical album where the pianist Mischa Blanos creates an original work based on his most cherished classical music composers that influenced him, to be released on Longcut Records. The Western titans are recalled through bits of moods, rhythms, musical scales and motifs that outlived after Mischa Blanos had forgotten all the classical musical scores of his academic upbringing. They are brought back to life as if given the opportunity to speak to each other, compose together and share their musical signatures. It’s their collective revival, where Mischa Blanos creates the perfect modern liaison.

"Imagine a time capsule where I've invited the greatest classical music composers. They cannot go out, they are trapped here with me. Sometimes they will fight, sometimes they will shout their frustration, some of them will ignore others, and sometimes you’ll find them in a tight embrace. These Western music titans are breathing, smiling, kicking here. It’s their collective Resurrection in my mind and fingers." Mischa Blanos

Within the seven tracks of the album "Titans," listeners will discover an eclectic blend of influences, often encountering the distinctive styles of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, Bartok, and Shostakovich, sometimes within the same piece. For the classical music enthusiast, this journey becomes a delightful excursion through the ages, offering the opportunity to discern the signatures of these Western titans. This playful game of "Who's Who" and the thrill of spotting these influences adds an extra layer of enjoyment, making the listening experience even more rewarding.

Attuning between two music worlds, clubbing and concert halls, Mischa Blanos is set to instill his own view on the well sought-after alliance between classical and electronic music.
