Product Description It is the rare artist that can take away one?s breath by conjuring the composer?s spirit and sound world through sheer visceral involvement with the music. Such is the case with Inon Barnatan?s heartbreaking and poetic rendering of Schubert?s second set of Impromptus, D. 935, the masterpiece that opens the 27-year old Israeli pianist?s debut CD recording. Inon Barnatan is a rising star among pianists of the younger generation. Barnatan?s recent seasons have included appearances at Carnegie Hall, the Concertgebouw, Salla Verdi in Milan, the Royal Festival, Queen Elizabeth and Wigmore Halls in London, the Musilverein in Vienna and the Salle Gaveau in Paris. In past seasons Barnatan has made his debut with the Israel Philharmonic, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre de las Suisse Romande, Jerusalem Symphony, and numerous other ensembles. He has been invited by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to join the Society?s ?Chamber Music Society Two? for the! next two seasons. Born in 1979, Inon Barnatan began playing the piano at the age of 4, making his orchestral debut at age 11. A student of Maria Curcio, he has also received coaching by Leon Fleisher, Radu Lupu, Richard Goode, Murray Perahia, Claude Frank, Menahem Pressler, and Christoph Eschenbach. Barnatan was a prizewinner in the Clara Haskil, Leeds, Porto and Rubinstein competitions, and was the winner of the Classical Recording Foundation?s ?2005 Young Artist of the Year? award. This debut CD, a part of Barnatan?s CRF Award, also includes Schubert?s immortal masterpiece- the Sonata in B-flat, D. 960. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA very fine performance Kenneth J. Luurs | Oak Park, IL USA | 11/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "OK, I have a lot of recordings of Schubert - perhaps 30 or so of just the Bflat sonata... This is one superb bit of music making. I was quite amazed at the sensitivity and musicality of the performance. This artist should be heard. I hope that he makes some more recordings. This is far superior to many more well-known pianists." Great Beginnings Neil Scott Mcnutt | New York, NY United States | 07/12/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was privileged to hear Inon Barnatan in person playing the Schubert Impromptus D. 935. His playing is exquisite and full of true love for the music. He has a very good sense of the requirements for playing these pieces with the delicacy and drama inherent in the music. His dynamic range is superb and any small flaws in the recording the softest passages are to be attributed to the recording process by Bridge Records rather than to his performance. Mr.Bartanan is a vigorous young artist who has a prodigious record already and a great future as far as we can predict. This early recording by him is a gem! It should be played without competition with the noise from air conditioners or other random sources, and is best if you listen to it in the dark! I look forward to future recordings by this young artist." Superb Rare Expression Thomas Randleman | Ohio | 09/13/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "There are many young talented musicians and one only has to look through the offerings of Shubert listings to realize the vast number of them. Too often with "Celebrity Style" photos on their covers.
One element which can make a performer atypical is their sensitivity to the music beyond the technical facility needed. The Shubert Impromptus have been recorded by a vast number of artists. Inon Barnatan makes "magic" with his performance. Not only is he up to the technical elements required, but he makes the music "breathe" and "bloom" in a way that allows you the experience as if "hearing it for the first time," or at least hearing in a new way. I was fortunate to witness his debut with the Cleveland Orchestra at the Blossom Music Festival this summer playing George Gershwin's "Rhapody In Blue in the smaller orchestral setting and it was a superb performance made up of the bombast, jazziness, and excitement of the score but also lovely moments of introspection and elegance, often left aside in the wish to dazzle. For a young performer this is rare and delightful. So many young musicians are deep in the "Music Competition" mode and as a result the music itself can suffer from too much emphasis on the technical fireworks they seem to feel they need to do to win. I am very very impressed with Mr. Barnatan's sensitivity and intellengence towards his approach. I bought this recording in a mood which would have compelled me to buy "anything" he had recorded and I was not disappointed. I look forward to watching his career." |
