This year, April is Hamelin month at Hyperion; not content with giving us another blockbuster addition to the Romantic
Piano Concerto series, the pianist gives us his contribution to the Liszt bicentenary.
The Liszt Sonata is undoubtedly one of the peaks of the repertoire, and recordings are suitably copious, but when an artist
of Hamelin’s virtuoso pedigree wishes to tackle it no excuse need be made for an additional version. The recital opens with
a lesser-known masterwork, the Fantasy and Fugue on B-A-C-H, and for light relief there is Liszt’s scintillating supplement
to his Italian Année de Pèlerinage, the three pieces of Venezia e Napoli, but perhaps the emotional core of the recital is
Liszt’s intensely spiritual Bénédiction du Dieu dans la solitude.
This is a major Liszt recital from one of today’s most admired recording artists.Track List:1 Fantasie und Fuge über das Thema B-A-C-H, S529ii: Fantasie und Fuge über das Thema B-A-C-H, S529ii
