Tania Giannouli/Nik Bärtsch Review for All About Jazz

My review of Metakosmos, the new duo album by Tania Giannouli and Nik Bärtsch, is now available at All About Jazz. Across eight pieces, the Greek and Swiss pianists bring melodic luminosity and rhythmic precision into an intimate exchange, exploring how attentive listening allows two distinct musical imaginations to create a shared world. Repetition becomes a means of discovering difference, while dampened strings, submerged strummings, and percussive accents reveal unexpected voices within the pianos. The review follows these encounters through dreamlike interiors, spiraling patterns, and moments of poised exuberance, considering how the music makes room for meanings neither player could arrive at alone
