Description:

Specialist of Austrian-German Music, Markus Becker's Haydn Volume 2! The Austrian-German music specialist Markus Becker presents the second volume of Haydn's piano sonatas! While the first volume (8553369) was intended to be as diverse as possible, with works that differ from each other in terms of form, type of movement, period of creation, and character, this volume focuses on music in minor keys, with works that are more familiar to the listener in terms of expression. The title of the album is "Solitude. Citing Haydn's famous quote, "I had to be original because no one nearby could confuse me," Becker says that the most characteristic feature of his career was "solitude," or more precisely, "isolation. Markus Becker is a German piano virtuoso who is particularly well known for his recordings of Reger's complete piano works, which have been released on numerous CDs on labels such as C'Avi, Hyperion, EMI, Decca, Thorofon, and cpo, and have won the German ECHO Klassik Award and Critics' Choice Award.He interprets a wide range of piano repertoire from J.S. Bach to Wolfgang Rihm in a very convincing way, and is active on the international concert scene as an established artist who has made jazz his second home. Tokyo M-Plus
