Wollny‘s new trio recording Weltentraum is a stunning example of
contemporary interpretation in the hands of a unique, fluidly virtuoso
artist. Wollny, with both elegance and wit, explores the connection
between songs that are worlds apart in terms of both centuries and
cultures on Weltentraum. But in the pianist’s hands, the combination of
interpretations of ‘God is a DJ’ by the riot girl power pop star Pink
and the piece ‘Lasse!’ by Guiliaume de Machaut (the French Medieval
composer and poet) gets to feel entirely natural.
