Gramophone (UK): Mozart Serenades

An hour spent with Mozart in light-music mode is always an hour well spent, and here we have not one but two hours of entertainment and pleasure. The Haffner Serenade appears to have been written as a Brautmusik (‘bride music’), commissioned by its namesake for the wedding of his sister. What we hear actually starts with the D major March, K249...

Gramophone (UK): Stanford Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No 2, Finghin Collins

Stanford’s answer to the great Russian concerto It is not perhaps surprising that the key, opening flourishes and other episodes in this splendid concerto recall Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No 2. Stanford had conducted its British premiere, with the composer as soloist, the year before he completed his own. If the second and third movements do...

Gramophone (UK): Schumann Complete Piano Works Vol 3, Finghin Collins

Collins’s refreshing pianism makes a welcome return to this Schumann survey The Swiss label Claves has struck gold with Finghin Collins, the Irish pianist who won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition in 1999.

Gramophone (UK): SCHUBERT Piano Sonata No 18 HAYDN Piano Sonata No 31

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...

Gramophone (UK): Schumann Complete Piano Works, Vol 1, Collins

A young pianist showing an uncanny and moving empathy with Schumann Vol 1 of Finghin Collins’s Schumann cycle is revelatory. In this young Irish pianist we have an artist (and I use the word advisedly) of rare poetic empathy, one with an uncanny and moving capacity to arrive at the still centre, the very heart, of Schumann’s teeming and frenzie...

Gramophone (UK): MENDELSSOHN 6 Organ Sonatas

Mendelssohn’s six organ sonatas do not crop up all that often on the same disc. They tend to come as single spies rather than in battalions. With the exception of several individual movements, none has approached public popularity. More fantasias than sonatas, they surely owe something to the composer’s legendary skill as an improviser while inc...
