‘Finite Infinity’ - in the 2nd half of the 19th century the lonely countryside of the American state of Massachusetts became a focal point for artistic innovation. Charles Ives, in the famous ‘Concord’ piano sonata, referred to 4 poets resident there, including Thoreau, whose book ‘Walden’ has achieved cult status in recent years. Emily Dickinson’s poems reflect the melancholic rapture of self-chosen isolation, and Reimann envelopes them, according to a critic, with ‘instrumental morbidezza, a marvellously withered aura’.
