*2023 stock* In the life of every artist comes the time when toward the end of his existence, he will create a monument to his ever-lasting artistic efforts. It is the Swan-Song for which he wishes to remain being known; for centuries, this has crossed the borderlines between cultures and arts. Poschiavo was recorded when Cecil Taylor was sixty-nine years old, very much at the height of his musical and poetic powers. Recorded in Europe on a fine Bösendorfer grand piano in perfect digital clarity, Poschiavo is an almost hour-long recital of a level of intensity that only Cecil Taylor's astonishing pianism could create. As he had created his own life and art, no influences can be detected in his playing. At the same time, no-one could truly absorb Cecil Taylor's style and performance, as there is no-one who could play like Cecil Taylor.
