Stephen Hough: Chopin Nocturnes

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Zum Singen gebracht
Wohl sicherlich alle Komponisten ‒ und später natürlich auch die Interpreten ‒ von Nocturnes für Klavier waren sich bewusst, dass sie hier ihr Instrument zum ‚Singen‘ zu bringen und dabei eine lyrische ‚Stimme‘ von einer unterstützenden Begleitung zu unterscheiden hatten. Für den bedeutenden britischen Pianisten Stephen Hough sind die Nocturnes des Erzromantikers Chopin sogar die besten Opernarien, die jemals komponiert wurden. Diese Haltung ist denn auch der Schlüssel für seine rundum überzeugende, weil intensiv lyrische Interpretation auf HYPERION, welche diese Klavierstücke geradezu perfekt zu gesanglichen Meisterwerken des Belcanto werden lässt.



‘Some of the finest operatic arias ever written’ is Stephen Hough’s brilliant characterization of the Nocturnes, one which holds the key to his intensely lyrical interpretations of these most perfect of bel canto masterworks.
