Product description

Immerse yourself in the intricate and meditative world of Alan Hovhaness with "Hovhaness: Complete Sonatas and Sonatinas Vol.1." Released on December 5, 2011, under the Taukay label, this album is a testament to Hovhaness's mastery of minimalism, offering a serene and contemplative journey through 20 tracks that span a total of 50 minutes. Hovhaness, a highly underrated yet influential composer, weaves a tapestry of sound that is both profound and accessible, making this album a perfect introduction to his work.

The album features a diverse range of compositions, including the Sonata Ricercare, Op. 12, with its complex canons and fugues, and the Sonata Catamount, Op. 345, which includes movements like "Misterioso" and "Love Song." Each piece is performed with precision and sensitivity by Nicola Giosmin, bringing out the subtle nuances and emotional depth of Hovhaness's music. Whether you're a longtime fan of minimalist music or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
