The neoclassicals of John C Buttigieg are marked by a remarkable refinement of presentation. A distillation of instrumental dimension and ambience in ways that effortlessly convey moods, feelings, emotions, and thoughts. In his latest release, ‘Prelude in G-Sharp Minor’, he plays around with rhythm; setting the scene, creating a theatrical dynamism, a twist in the flow before flowing back to a calm, serene, unmoving frame. It is a piano piece, never stuck at a single point, idea, story or feeling. 

The artist’s skill at the instrument is so refined as he flies up and down the scale, like the wind fluttering the leaves. There is stability but also freedom and flight. Building up the classical elements with contemporary and modern flows, he creates a duality that traces a progressing path of style, expression, technique, and creativity. His inflections are fine, intricate webs of lucid thought and emotion making patterns across the soundscape. And the harmony and histrionics of it all is quite enjoyable. Listen Now!
