LUDWIG van BEETHOVEN
Beethoven - Hammerklavier Sonata / An die ferne Geliebte
Nobuyuki Tsujii (piano)
[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 28 March 2025
Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata is a formidable challenge for any pianist. Making his Deutsche Grammophon debut, "stunningly gifted" (Gramophone) Nobuyuki Tsujii - no stranger to challenges - has chosen this technically and intellectually demanding work, which brought him victory in the prestigious Van Cliburn Competition. Nobu, as he is lovingly known, feels a personal affinity for Beethoven and here also savours the composer's intimate, lyrical side in Liszt's affectionate transcription of the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte.
"All in all, this is a memorable Hammerklavier: mature, thoughtful and beautifully controlled. Liszt's simple and lovely arrangement of the six songs of An die ferne Geliebte is an effective curtain-raiser, thankfully not added as an afterthought to Op 106. The recorded sound is rich and natural, and the essay by Michael Church provides a fine appreciation of Tsujii's gifts." Gramophone
