Product Description

David Lang's "The Loser" is a captivating exploration of the life and legacy of the renowned pianist Glenn Gould, framed through the lens of free jazz. Released on February 7, 2020, under Cantaloupe Music, this album spans a rich 72 minutes, divided into eight intricate scenes, each offering a unique perspective on Gould's enigmatic persona. Lang, known for his innovative compositions, crafts a narrative that is as intellectually stimulating as it is musically engaging. The album delves into themes of victory, defeat, and the complexities of human existence, all while maintaining a free jazz aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of traditional composition. "The Loser" is not just a musical experience but a profound meditation on the essence of artistry and the paradoxes of genius.
