Description: | George Walker: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 1 by Alexandre Dossin, released 5 April 2024.
This version of George Walker: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 1 comes as a 1xCD. - This is the first of two volumes of George Walker's complete piano works, both featuring performances by Alexandre Dossin. The three sonatas heard here offer compelling contrasts. Sonata No. 1 is his longest and utilises folk tunes, No. 2 is darker and unified by tonal relationships, while No. 3 displays contrapuntal mastery and translucent elements. The album opens with the serene and majestic Prelude and Caprice, while both Spatials and Spektra are atonal. Bauble is heard in a world premiere recording.? &© 2024 Naxos Rights (Europe) Ltd. Made in Germany. Comes in a standard-size jewel case with a clear tray. 4pp fold-out booklet has notes in English. Playing time 58:50.
Recorded 8-10 January 2023 (tracks 1-8, 11-13) and 2 April 2023 (tracks 9, 10, 14) at Moon Mountain Studios, Eugene, Oregon, USA. |
