Franz LISZT (1811–1886) Complete Piano Music, Vol. 67 March Transcriptions Paul Williamson, Piano
BUY NOW!
This volume in the Complete Piano Music edition focuses on march transcriptions, a genre that often symbolised national identity and one that Liszt arranged and transcribed throughout his entire compositional career. Marches often appeared in Liszt’s recitals and allowed him to pay respect to the culture in which he was performing. These brilliant works are spiced with Hungarian timbres, suggesting native scalic patterns and the sound of the cimbalom, as well as Liszt’s Romantic flamboyance. Key features: Pianist Paul Williamson was included in CBC Music’s 2017 edition of 30 Hot Canadian Classical Musicians under 30. Williamson received First Prize at both the 2014 Canadian National Music Festival and the 2017 Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Association National Piano Competition in addition to three semi-final awards. He is also a prize winner of the 2020 WMC McLellan Competition. An advocate of new music, Williamson regularly performs contemporary repertoire and has worked alongside many living composers.

Wolfgang Amadeus MOZART (1756–1791) Keyboard Works Fragments and Rarities Vijay Venkatesh, Piano
BUY NOW!
Few musicians shaped the evolution of keyboard writing as profoundly as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His sonatas and concertos aligned technical brilliance with lyrical sensitivity to elevate the piano from largely domestic use to a powerful vehicle for solo and ensemble musicianship. This collection of hidden gems includes pieces spanning early childhood miniatures to complete sonata movements, minuets, a set of variations and a wide variety of incomplete works filled with Mozart’s characteristic delicacy, surprise and operatic drama. Vijay Venkatesh’s recording of Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 6 can be heard on a digital-only release, 9.70390. Key features: Appearing here in his Naxos debut, Indian-American pianist Vijay Venkatesh has been hailed by the Herald-Tribune for his ‘dazzling pianism verging on the impossible, effortless technical command and authority with a sense of poetry and refinement that belies his years’. Venkatesh has been recognised on three continents as a pianist with profound musicianship and sparkling pianism, whose playing is described as ‘fresh and inspired’ ( Cincinnati Courier ). He has rapidly established a major international reputation as top prize winner in the San Jose, Seattle, Zimmerli, World Piano, and Waring International Piano Competitions.
