HELL,THOMAS - Ives: Concord Sonata (Sealed) (CD)

The Concord Sonata by Charles Ives as a milestone in the history of American music is characterized by the originality, the remarkable pianistic difficulty and the almost epic scale of the composition. The specialist for modern repertoire Thomas Hell has the necessary perversity and the interpretive know-how to master Ives' magnum opus for piano playfully and musically. No one less than Alfred Brendel said of Hell: Intelligence and virtuosity find their way here. These virtues are very beneficial to the native Hamburgers in his exciting new recording of the sonata.
