Martin Jones (piano)

"Stravinsky regarded the piano as primarily a percussion instrument; even when spinning an elegantly sustained neo-classical melody his piano textures are crisp and dry. I am sure Martin Jones knows this - his many recordings demonstrate a pianist of remarkable sensitivity to a wide range of styles - and has scrupulously tried to project a genuinely Stravinskian sound. Indeed this is shown by his care over those early works where Stravinsky hardly sounds like Stravinsky at all: the amply Tchaikovskian manner of the F sharp minor Sonata and the Skriabinesque shot colours of the four études are both admirably conveyed."

Victor Sangiorgio (piano)

Composing at the piano was a life-long preoccupation for Stravinsky, whose music for the instrument spans a forty-year period and reflects his distinct stylistic changes. In his Four Etudes of 1908 the use of complex rhythmical patterns between the hands makes for fiendishly difficult execution. The clarity of each of the 1924 Sonatas’ three movements recalls the musical language of the 18th century. In 1925 Stravinsky embarked on a groundbreaking tour of the United States, where he signed his first recording contract for Brunswick. It was for this company that he wrote the Serenade, designing each movement to fit neatly on one side of a 78rpm gramophone record.
