Reinhold Freidl risks together with the renowned German actor Bernhard Schütz a reinterpretation of Robert Schumann's classic Dichterliebe (poems bei Heinrich Heine). They try to not let the content drift away into beautyful singing, but keep the brutatlity and ugliness and unhappiness of the singer in mind (and sound).
Performed live in Warsaw 2012, recorded in Berlin by Ralf Mainz, presented by the Polish label BOLT in the series Populista

Unbelievable that one can creates such sounds with a grand piano! Phosphormagazine

Reinhold Friedl has developed his “inside piano” technique to such a level of delicacy and precision that the tonalities extracted from the instrument bear little resemblance of their acoustic source.” 
The Wire Magazine London.  


Reinhold Friedl’s list of collaborations is beyond outstanding, and he has taken the concept of the prepared piano, as first conceived by John Cage, to limits beyond imagination. As such, Friedl’s advancement over the last twenty years has been the definition of innovation. But what makes Friedl such a remarkable figure is his capacity to explore so many different and divergent avenues, and to turn his hand to so many different projects
Aural Aggravation, Christopher Nosnibor, 1/2024

yes, ok, we know it's piano, it's marked on the LPs, but there's such a polytimbrality and such a distance from the piano as we know it - even from Cecil Taylor's piano or Keith Tippett's - that the source, the founding gesture remains unsuspected, the sound is decorrelated from the imaginary of its inherent physicality. 
In fact, it's one of the best records of electronic music with no trace of electronic instruments apart from the microphones, and a large part of its strength (or importance?) comes from the fact that it's no longer music played on an instrument, whatever it may be, with perhaps a specific technique elaborated for it, or an adapted technology, but that it's just music. A form of “pure music” where you hear only the music, not that music, that idea, played on a piano. The piano disappears, and all you hear is an idea of electronic music.
Revue & Corrigée, Kasper Toeplitz, 1/2025

tremendous power. Overwhelming!
