Only very few musicians are as well versed in both classical music and jazz as the Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala. With the acclaimed Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen he now continues his classical journey. Following the album "Mozart, Bernstein, Lennon" (ACT9868) which got nominated for the "International Classical Music Award", this new recording features repertoire by George Gershwin - for Rantala, with his strong melodies and great emotional warmth, a classical soulmate.
