Description:

Garrick Ohlsson is a renowned American pianist who won first prizes at the 1966 Busoni International Piano Competition, the 1968 Montreal International Competition, and the 8th International Chopin Piano Competition. In the fifth volume of Hyperion, Allison, who is highly acclaimed for his mastery of small pieces, presents an ambitious album of Debussy, Prokofiev, and Bartók exercises! Debussy's "12 Exercises," dedicated to Chopin, Prokofiev's revolutionary "Four Exercises," and the lesser-known "Three Exercises" by Bartók. The three exercises were composed in France, Russia, and Hungary, in different countries, but at close proximity to each other, in 1915, 1909, and 1918, respectively. These difficult pieces, which require not only sufficient technique but also a high level of expressiveness to be appreciated at concerts, are performed with the clear tone and rich expressiveness of Ohlsson, who was renowned as a world-renowned Chopin player.
