Product description

Stephen Hough, the acclaimed British pianist, presents a captivating collection of works by two prominent composers, Alexander Scriabin and Leoš Janáček. Released on October 30, 2015, under the Hyperion label, this album offers a rich tapestry of classical piano music that spans a little over an hour and twelve minutes.

The album features Scriabin's Piano Sonatas Nos. 4 and 5, showcasing the composer's unique harmonic language and evocative compositions. Hough's masterful interpretation brings out the depth and complexity of these sonatas, making them a highlight of the collection.

In addition to Scriabin's sonatas, the album includes Janáček's "On an Overgrown Path," a cycle of piano pieces that reflects the composer's deep connection to his native Bohemia. The pieces are intimate and evocative, offering a glimpse into Janáček's musical world. The album also features Janáček's Piano Sonata 1.X.1905, a powerful and expressive work inspired by the political events of the time.

Hough's technical prowess and artistic sensitivity shine throughout the album, making it a standout in his discography. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rewarding listening experience. The combination of Scriabin's and Janáček's works, along with Hough's exceptional playing, makes this a must-listen for anyone interested in the classical piano repertoire.
