Chopins letzte Meisterwerke
Auch der britische Pianist Stephen Hough legt zum Chopin-Jahr eine Neuaufnahme vor. Dabei widmet er sich ausschließlich Werken, die Chopin in seinen letzten vier Lebensjahren komponierte. Auffällig dabei ist, dass der vom Leben gebeutelte Komponist in dieser Phase seine Werke mit neuen Ideen entwickelt und verwirklicht. Allein die Form der Berceuse und Barcarolle kommen in früheren Schaffensperioden nicht vor, die Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten werden vielschichtiger. Das Spätwerk Chopins ist von bemerkenswerter Geschlossenheit und besinnlicher Tiefe.
Stephen Hough joins the celebrations for Chopin’s 200th birthday with a disc containing much of the composer’s most extraordinary music, written in the last years of his life where the expressive possibilites of his art were constantly unfolding as he imbued his favoured forms with previously unknown levels of complexity and emotional depth. This disc includes the intoxicatingly ornamented Berceuse Op 57 and the sublime Barcarolle in F sharp major as well as the Polonaise-Fantasy in A flat major and the towering Piano Sonata No 3 in B minor. Also included are two late Nocturnes which demonstrate how Chopin’s art had evolved since he first composed in that genre in his youth. The programme is completed by a selection of Mazurkas, each a tiny jewel, containing no less mastery than their larger counterparts, and providing moving sonic evidence of the contemplative profundity of Chopin’s late style.
Stephen Hough’s extraordinarily sensitive playing is informed by his limitless technique and engaging musical imagination. This is the Chopin of a true Romantic.
'Hough's fingers probe and caress; textures and colours dance and blend with cleansing clarity' (The Times)
'I was won over by the lovely tone and touch, the seductive warmth and clarity of the inner parts and the beautifully judged rubato … It carries ringing conviction' (The Sunday Times)
'The greater the music here, the more revelatory the playing, especially in a magnificent account of the Polonaise-fantasie … A ticket to a pianistic paradise' (Mail on Sunday)
