This is Guillaume Bellom’s first solo CD and his debut on Claves. His programme contrasts Classical-era Haydn and Schubert with the very different world of his compatriot Debussy.
He has previously recorded a disc of Schubert’s piano duet works so perhaps it’s not surprising that he should sound utterly at home in the G major Sonata, D894, with...
Ein sehr verschiedenartiges Programm mit Kompositionen für Klavier und Gitarre spielt das Duo ‘Perlamusica’, bestehend aus Sophie Rudaz Mudry und Grégory Scalesia. Die Stücke von Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Hans Haug, Gerald Schwertberger, John W. Duarte, Astor Piazzolla und einigen anderen liegen den Interpreten im Blut. Sie spielen sie entsprechend f...
Der im Jahr 2000 geborene irische Pianist Kevin Jansson hat im Februar 2016 den Thierry Scherz-Preis in Gstaad gewonnen, mit dem auch eine Solo-CD verbunden ist. Diese Schallplatte kam dabei zustande.
Ravels ‘Miroirs’ machen die erste Hälfte des Programms aus. Kevin Jansson spielt sie insgesamt vielleicht ein wenig zu ‘vorbereitet’ und nicht spo...
Records are made to be broken, even in classical music. When then-24-year-old Korean HJ Lim recorded the (just-about) complete Beethoven Sonatas for EMI (Warner), released for a tenner on iTunes, it made a splash more for its audacity than quality. Two years later, in 2014, she was bested in every way: Swiss-born Chinese pianist Mélodie Zhao had...

« Toute âme est instrument de musique » - Isaac Leib Peretz
Sa vie durant, l’homme mène la barque de sa vie de certitudes en doutes, de joies en douleurs, d’émerveillements en désillusions en un cycle toujours renouvelé. Sa vie durant, la relation qu’il entretient avec le Ciel est riche, intense et...
The music of György Kurtág, who celebrated his 90th birthday in February, is enjoying a richly deserved if belated groundswell of recordings. It forms the linchpin of CDs by two duo piano teams, Antoine Françoise and Robin Green and the siblings Hans-Peter and Volker Stenzl.
Françoise-Green are intelligent and sensitive musicians with a genuine...
I love recommending world-premiere recordings, especially of pieces that have been overlooked for centuries; there’s just a visceral thrill to hearing a piece come to life aurally after being in limbo for such a long time.
When the work or works in question are as fine as these are, the thrill is even greater — and this recording really is a ge...
