Dive into the enchanting world of 19th-century chamber music with Dimitri Ashkenazy's captivating album, "Ottocento." This exquisite collection, released on January 3, 2018, under the VDE-GALLO label, showcases Ashkenazy's virtuosity and deep connection with the romantic era's musical landscape. The album spans a little under an hour, featuring a diverse range of compositions from lesser-known yet brilliant composers of the time.
The journey begins with Scheidler's Sonata in D Major, Op. 21, a piece that sets the stage with its classical elegance and emotional depth. Burgmüller's 3 Nocturnes follow, offering a serene and introspective interlude. Vanhal's 6 Variations on "Nel cor più non mi sento", Op. 42, introduce a playful and inventive spirit, while Küffner's Serenade in C Major, Op. 44, brings a touch of lighthearted charm.
The album concludes with Krähmer's Introduction & Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 32, a tour-de-force that highlights Ashkenazy's technical prowess and musical sensitivity. Each piece is performed with a keen sense of style and historical awareness, making this album a delightful exploration of the rich and varied world of 19th-century chamber music.
