GRAMOPHONE RECORDING OF THE MONTH
Stephen Hough has long enjoyed critical acclaim in these pages. It’s not just because he combines a staggering technique with a genuinely engaging musical imagination, it’s also because he’s not content with only playing standard repertoire. His first Gramophone Award was for Hummel piano concertos (soon to return at mid-price as part of Chandos’s 25th birthday celebrations) and subsequent Awards have been for Mompou, Sauer and Scharwenka (with Saint-Saëns as the most ‘central’ composer to gain him the honours). This month, it is standard fare – Chopin Ballades and Scherzos – but the playing and approach are anything but standard. Here is music that is heard across the world every day, given a totally fresh approach – and a gloriously successful one at that.
(Gramophone)
Bland alla de skickliga pianister som spelat in CDs på Hyperion är Stephen Hough en av de allra främsta. Här tar han sig an Chopins "Ballader" och "Scherzi", som räknas som milstolpar inom pianolitteraturen från 1800-talet. Hough har framfört dessa stycken "live" under lång tid och det kan man tydligt höra på denna skiva.
