Composed from 2020 to 2024, Alea Iacta Est (The Die is Cast) is one of Zorn’s most challenging masterworks—a complex and varied piano concerto that runs the gamut of moods, styles, and tempi. Performed brilliantly by four of the most trusted and passionate interpreters of his work—the trio of Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder, Ches Smith, with guest star Sae Hashimoto on vibraphone on one movement—this stunning new work is an essential piece of the Zorn puzzle. Astonishing!
