Michael Wollny - eine winterreise [LP]

Format: LP
Catalogue No.: ACTLP8028-1
Barcode: 0614427802811
Release Date: 30 Oct 2026
Genre: Jazz

 ACT’s flagship artist, in his most personal format. Wollny is one of European jazz’s most awarded and most consistently selling pianists - called “one of European jazz’s premier pianist / composers” by The Guardian, praised for his “fantastic cross-genre musicianship” by Downbeat and placed by Télérama in the lineage of Bley, Hancock, Jarrett, Mehldau, Svensson and Bollani. A solo piano album is his most intimate and most direct
statement.
 A world-famous work, Schubert’s ‘Winterreise’ is one of the best-known song cycles in Western
music. That gives the release a second sales channel beyond jazz - classical buyers, classical retail placement, classical and feuilleton media.
 Pop references widen the reach. Motifs from Björk (‘aurora’), Kate Bush (‘snowflake’) and Louis Cole
(‘cloud of flies’) open the album to indie and pop listeners and give non-jazz media a hook.
 Recorded on the grand piano at the 16th century Reitstadel in Neumarkt, a room with a legendary
piano-recording history, with no dynamic processing applied at all. A definite angle for hi-fi press, vinyl buyers and premium / gift placement.
 CD in four-page digipack with eight-page booklet.
 LP on 180g vinyl with one-page insert and digital download code.
