Following his critically acclaimed first release for Avie of Mozart Sonatas (AV 0025), Andreas Haefliger delivers the first in a series of recital recordings that pleases and provokes in equal measure. Perspectives 1 replicates one of Haefliger's recital programmes which he has toured internationally. Underpinned by Haefliger’s hallmark Austro-Germanic repertoire – works by Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert – he tantalizing includes Thomas Adès’ austere Darknesse Visible, which the composer describes as “an explosion of John Dowland’s lute song In Darknesse Let Mee Dwell.” “…an attractively planned recital, intelligently and musically played.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2004 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Schubert: Piano Sonatas Nos. 4 & 13
Acclaimed for his Naxos recordings of music by Chopin, Liszt, Dohnányi and Rachmaninov, Eldar Nebolsin here fulfils a heartfelt ambition to record important piano works by another great Romantic composer, Franz Schubert, for the label. The passion and pathos of the two sonatas, with their song-like melodies and adventurous harmonies, set the scene for one of Schubert’s most powerful solo piano pieces, the Wanderer Fantasy, a work so technically demanding that Schubert himself is reported to have exclaimed ‘the devil may play it!’. Based on his popular song Der Wanderer, the Fantasy is virtually a four movement sonata in its own right and a path-breaking masterpiece of the piano literature. “Nebolsin makes things harder for himself by adopting a tempo that's on the steady side, but his performance is admirably restrained and eloquent. He gives a beautiful account of the more popular and lurical Sonata No. 13 in A major, too, producing playing of effortless warmth and musicianship....he is clearly a pianist to watch, and the two Sonatas are really impressive.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2011 **** “Nebolsin's grasp of structure, simplicity of approach with clear, natural phrasing, and the song-like purity of the recorded sound make this a very special Schubert disc...This is an account [of the Wanderer] to rank with the masterly (elderly) recording by Solomon, and that is saying something. The 'Wanderer' Fantasy is among the most compelling and coherent versions of recent years.” Classic FM Magazine, July 2011 ***** “He is undaunted by the immense demands of the Wanderer in a performance of considerable power that revels in the granite choral writing and culminates in a fugue of almost bludgeoning power.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2011 “If you like your Schubert in high definition then this one's for you...Eldar Nebolsin here records Schubert for the first time, employing an alarmingly bold Technicolor Lisztian palette...He hurls himself at the piano in Sonata No 4 (producing a revelatory, pin-sharp staccato reading of the second movement along the way)...You wouldn't think he had anything left for the fiendish Wanderer Fantasy, but he was merely limbering up. Warn the neighbours.” The Observer, 22nd May 2011 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |

“I do not play for others, but only for myself in the service of the composer. It makes no difference whether there is an audience or not; when I am at the keyboard I am lost. And I think of what I play, and of the sound that comes forth, which is a product of the mind.“ Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Filmed at the RTSI Auditorium, Lugano, 7 April 1981 “The Italian pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1920-95) was a legend in his own lifetime - renowned for his beautifully polished sound, clarity of execution, strict fidelity to the composer and awareness of
harmonic subtleties. Everything was planned to the highest degree of musical and technical perfection: Michelangeli was not one for freedoms, excesses, rubatos or outbursts of spontaneity. He played the way he
was - with a seemingly unshakeable aristocratic reserve… Brahms's Four Ballades Op.10 benefit most from his introspective approach, especially in the climax to the "Edward" Ballade.” Financial Times | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
