His piano sonatas, in particular, were so highly regarded at the time of their composition that Beethoven praised them as “more pianistic and magnificent than Mozart’s works.” Every piece included on this album is a world premiere recording, each showcasing Clementi’s creativity and spirit of exploration, with virtuosic technique employed generously right from the opening Toccata. Furthermore, the Capriccios were composed over a period of nearly 25 years, and the two works published in 1821, in particular, are magnificent pieces reminiscent of Beethoven, allowing listeners to trace the evolution of Clementi’s compositional style.\nPianist Rodolfo Leone is from Italy. He won first prize at the 15th Vienna International Beethoven Piano Competition held in 2017 and is a young prodigy described as a “true philosopher of sound.”\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595660681505,"sku":"4945604742337","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604742337.jpg?v=1790482166","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604742337","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
