On this new disc, Ronald Brautigam now embarks on the second leg of his traversal of Beethoven’s complete music for solo piano. In this volume he gives us the complete Bagatelles, and includes not only the three sets published during Beethoven’s life time, but also thirteen further pieces composed throughout Beethoven’s career, between 1795 and 1825. Among Beethoven’s Bagatelles – whether official or unofficial ones – are pieces that may originally have been intended as movements of piano sonatas, as well as pieces of an extreme brevity, such as the 11 seconds long Allegramente, No. 10 of Elf Neue Bagatellen, Op.119. Previous volumes in this cycle have been highly praised by reviewers around the world: performances of the Waldstein and Appassionata Sonatas (BISSACD1573) which were described by Gramophone as ‘stunning … technically breathtaking, stylistically astute, emotionally intense and musically alive in every moment’ “Brautigam plays a copy of a c.1805 Walter & Sohn fortepiano for the 15 works composed between 1795 and 1804, and a copy of a c.1819 Conrad Graf for the remainder. Only the sharpest of ears will be able to tell the difference in a blind hearing, but the Dutch pianist's total control of both is quite remarkable to the extent that the character and colour of other well-known 'complete' cycles on modern instruments seem pallid by comparison.” Classic FM Magazine, October 2011 ***** “Brautigam explores the music with acuity and if, predictably, the fast dramatic Bagatelles bring out the best in him, his nurturing of the wayward C major WoO56 turns a miniature into something surprisingly big...there's far more than unmatched completeness going to Brautigam's new set.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2011 **** “this is a terrific addition to Brautigam's cycle and is recommended to anyone who thinks fortepianos are the poor relations of the modern Steinway. I defy you not to be won over.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |
