Additional information:
This year 2004 commemorates the 150-th anniversary of the birth of Leos Janacek, one of Czechs most famous and original composers.
Janaceks music is highly personal, his language immediately recognizable: short, almost aphoristic motives form the basis of a highly dramatic discourse.
His piano works include the famous Piano Sonata (written after the death of a man during a workers demonstration), the highly attractive cycle On an overgrown path (short pieces of sometimes violent, sometimes painfully intimate emotions), the cycle In the mist, and series on Czech and Moravian folk melodies.
Norwegian pianist Hakon Austbö already recorded extensively for Brilliant Classics (Satie, Brahms Klavierstücke, Grieg Lyrische Stücke), and proves himself again a true master in the short form, completely identifying himself with the composer and his inner thoughts. |
