from Oannes *

Η Hammerklavier είναι η πιο απαιτητική τεχνικά απο τις σονάτες του LVB, και ένα από τα απαυγάσματα της τρίτης του περιόδου. Επιλέγουμε το εκπληκτικό πρώτο μέρος, Allegro [όχι τόσο δύσκολο όσο η “απίθανη” φούγκα του φινάλε] και το ακούμε από τα μαγικά χέρια της Mitsuko Uchida, γεννημένης επίσης αυτό το μήνα, 75 χρόνια πριν.

✻

Hammerklavier is the most technically challenging among LVB’s sonatas, and one of the highlights of his third period. We pick the amazing first part, Allegro [not as difficult as the “impossible” last part’s fuga] and we hear it from the magical hands of Mitsuko Uchida, also born this month, 75 years ago.

Enjoy!
