Für den klaren Aufbau eines Werkes—für seine Kristallisation—ist es entscheidend, dass alle dionysischen Elemente, welche die Vorstellungskraft des Schöpfers anregen und den nährenden Saft hochtreiben, rechtzeitig, bevor sie uns berauschen, gezähmt und schließlich dem Gesetze unterworfen werden: Apoll befiehlt es. (Strawinsky, Musikalische Poetik)
Für den russischen Meister der Moderne gehörten die vier Klaviersonaten von Carl Maria von Weber zu den gelungensten Werken des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er lobt ihre „instrumentale Gestalt“, die die „scharfsinnige und dauernde Kontrolle des Bändigers“ verkörpert. Für Strawinsky lag Webers Leistung darin, die Form seiner Sonaten kristallisiert und damit die dionysische Seite der Musik mit der apollinischen versöhnt zu haben. Dank dieser Meinung, erneutem Interesse allgemein an der Frühromantik sowie Pianisten des Niveaus von Garrick Ohlsson werden diese Werke nun neu bewertet und entsprechend gewürdigt, nachdem sie während des Großteils des 20. Jahrhunderts unterschätzt wurden.
Weber, best known for his operas today, was also a very fine pianist and he wrote a sizeable body of piano music of which the four sonatas are the centrepiece. These are perhaps the first truly ‘Romantic’ piano sonatas and were a great influence on the succeeding generation of German composers such as Mendelssohn and Schumann; all are large scale and virtuosic and their quality makes it surprising how rarely they have been recorded. The set also includes the most important of Weber’s other piano works including the once hugely popular ‘Invitation to the Dance’, a work which has become better known in the orchestration of Berlioz.
‘These are distinguished performances, by a pianist of true romantic temper, of four works that have had more than their share of misunderstanding from performers and critics alike’ (Gramophone)
Garrick Ohlsson is the pianist, acclaimed for his performances of Brahms and Chopin on Hyperion. These delightful recordings were originally released on Arabesque.
