Synopsis

Product Description

American pianist Andrew Rangell is heard here in a program of five Beethoven sonatas, recorded at Boston?s Gardner Museum in 2004. Choosing some of Beethoven?s lesser performed sonatas, Rangell gives performances that display the pianist?s highly personal approach with this music. Writing about Rangell?s most recent New York recital, critic Charles Michener of The New York Observer wrote: ?For me, the great discovery of the series has been Andrew Rangell...Mr. Rangell is an individualist. And such was his intensity?like the late Glenn Gould, he seemed to be propelled by an irresistible force?that the listener?s attention was riveted to the music.? These recordings by Andrew Rangell are available from Bridge: Schubert recital: Moments Musicaux; Sonata in B-flat, D. 960; BRIDGE 9153 Peruvian Honeymoon: music of Chopin, Wolff, Valen, Haydn and Stravinsky; BRIDGE 9154 Great Performances from the Library of Congress, Volume 22; Franz Schubert: Quintet in A Major, D. 667, (Op. Posth. 114) ?The Trout?, members of the Budapest String Quartet: Joseph Roisman, violin; Boris Kroyt, viola; Mischa Schneider, violoncello; with Julius Levine, contrabass; Artur Balsam, piano; César Franck: Quintet for Piano and Strings in F minor; The Budapest String Quartet: Joseph Roisman and Jac Gorodetzky, violins; Boris Kroyt, viola; Mischa Schneider, violoncello; Artur Balsam, piano

CD Reviews

Utterly brilliant

Joel Lidz | boston | 04/06/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rangell misses nothing in these works. Every last note is given its place within the whole structure. Uniquely illuminates these works as they have never before been heard on recordings.
