ALESSIO BAX PLAYS BRAHMS
Ballades Op.10, Klavierstücke Op.76, Variations on a Theme of Paganini Op. 35
BRAHMS / CZIFFRA / BAX: Hungarian Dance No. 5
Alessio Bax (piano)
The Italian-born pianist and Leeds competition winner Alessio Bax returns with his third solo recital disc for Signum. His programme surveys a selection of highlights from Brahms' pianistic output, charting his development from the early lyrical collection '4 Ballades' (1854) through to the 'eight perfect gems' that are the 8 Klavierstücke Op.76 (1871-78). Bax also tackles Brahms' fiendish set of 'Variations on a Theme of Pagainini, Op.35', which Bax describes in the programme notes as one of "the most fearsome works ever written for piano".
The disc follows Bax's 2011 Rachmaninov recital disc:
"This is one of the most intelligent and engrossing Rachmaninov recitals of recent years … a highly rewarding release." Classic FM Magazine
J.S Bach piano transcriptions:
“a level of technical control that gives new meaning to the word ‘awesome’ … Furthermore, Bax retains tonal beauty and definition even in the loudest and most sonorous passages” Gramophone Magazine
