CD Reviews

A Brilliant Reading of some Deserving Works

Thomas O. Morey | Columbus, GA United States | 01/29/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Benjamin Britten did not write extensively for solo (or duo) piano, but what he did produce were all pianistic gems of their kind. This music needs serious musicianship to be effective, which pianist Stephen Hough has in abundance. For those who know Britten best through his songs or operas, this reveals another side of the composer's output, ranging from the cerebral and dissonant to the sensuous and consonant. Highest recommendation."
