Good classical pieces.

This is a studio recording from 2012 for the BBC film 'Loving Miss Hatto'. A biopic penned by the British comedian Victoria Wood about pianist Joyce Hatto.

The character piece is like the art song's fun-loving cousin who always shows up to the party with a bottle of emotional perfume. It's perfect for those intimate gatherings or solo rendezvous with your piano. Thanks to the piano's rise to fame in the 1800s, character pieces were popping up everywhere, and composers were flaunting their creations at the hottest recital events of the time. Basically, character pieces were the 19th century's version of a hot new single. If you thought Franz Liszt's music was boring, think again! This guy was all about giving his character pieces creative and whimsical titles, like "Sposalizio" and "Vallée d'Obermann". But don't worry, he didn't forget about those of us who like our music titles to be a little more straightforward - he also composed plenty of works with no-nonsense names like "Album Leaves" and "Klavierstücke". With his "Consolations" (a.k.a. "Six Poetic Thoughts"), Liszt took a page out of Chopin's book and delved into the world of nocturnes. And let me tell you, the third Consolation in D-flat major is pure Chopin - even the key is pianist-friendly, unlike those pesky "easy" keys like C major. Looks like Liszt knew a thing or two about pleasing his audience! If you're a Chopin fan, you're gonna love Liszt's "Consolation No. 3"! I mean, talk about a tribute - this piece is basically a carbon copy of Chopin's Opus 27, no. 1. And while it might not have the same flashy piano solos that Liszt is known for, it more than makes up for it with its dreamy, slow-moving melodies. Plus, it's in the same key as Chopin's original, so you know it's gotta be good.

Despite the unusual title, the Consolations were inspired by both poetry and religious contemplation, just like Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses. Some say the title comes from an 1830 poetry collection by Sainte-Beuve, while others think it's based on a poem by Lamartine called A Tear (or Consolation). Either way, it seems like Liszt was in a pretty contemplative mood when he wrote these pieces. But don't worry, Liszt didn't completely forget his roots - he snuck in a little Hungarian folk song as the primary theme, which he later used in his "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1". So even though this piece might not match the wild, hair-flailing image we have of Liszt, it's still got a little bit of that old-school flavor. Liszt's "Consolation No. 3" wasn't just a musical masterpiece - it was also a major turning point in the composer's life. And let me tell you, Liszt's early life was a doozy - it was basically one big, crazy party. But don't take my word for it, just ask his first mistress (and mother of his three children) Marie d'Agoult, who wrote all about it under the pen name Daniel Stern. And if you're feeling really adventurous, you can even watch the 1975 film "Lisztomania" for all the juicy details. Talk about living the dream! Liszt's life was like something out of a Hollywood movie - seriously, this guy was breaking class barriers and performing like a superstar. But as he got older, he decided to trade in the limelight for a little bit of privacy. He started conducting orchestras and composing more, and even started teaching aspiring pianists from around the world. I guess you could say he was the original piano man!

Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction.  Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.  

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting.  "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.  

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price.  Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

Chopin Nocturne in F Minor-Op. 55, No 1 (Variation) Piano, Violin, Cello - Chad Lawson

playing piano1 - Liszt Mazeppa

Redoutable défi, pour un pianiste, que l’enregistrement des Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, chef-d’œuvre suprême de Franz Liszt, si grand est le nombre de légendaires interprétations habitant toutes les mémoires. 

Pourtant ici, à l’écoute des onze tableaux formant l’illustre fresque sonore du maître hongrois, l’auditeur est saisi par la rigueur idiomatique et l’exigence stylistique manifestées par Pascal Amoyel. De ce brillant musicien, la plus belle qualité demeure probablement l’aisance souveraine à marier les contraires : clarté du discours et subtilité des nuances, variété des couleurs et rigueur rythmique. Doublant la prouesse digitale d’une impeccable et sensible restitution des inflexions spirituelles qui animent cette partition étonnamment lyrique, Pascal, prouve en l’occasion que la perfection technique reste avant tout un merveilleux gage de liberté.

Richard Cleyderman - Classique Sonata.mp3

Franz Liszt-Liebestraum No. 3 in A-Flat Major

Recorded in Studio 1 at the University of Surrey.

Debussy La Cathédrale Engloutie - Natasha Dunne Burns (Classical edit and mix)

Cet enregistrement doit son titre énigmatique et sa réalisation à une poussée de fièvre. De fièvre amoureuse, pour le répertoire lisztien le plus personnel (les deux Légendes de saint François) et pour l'instrument le plus fidèle à reproduire ses moirures, le plus souple à moduler ses accents : un piano Erard, de la famille de facteurs parisiens du XIXe siècle, rivaux de Pleyel. 

Collectionneuse avisée de claviers historiques, Claire Chevallier, brillante soliste française installée en Belgique, détient un de ces précieux spécimens, dont Liszt louait la légèreté et la fiabilité autant que la puissance. La chaude clarté des registres, dans le médium et les graves, la rondeur des aigus colorent d'une volupté idéale la courbe des élégies lisztiennes. 

« On aura beau dire et beau faire, assurait le compositeur à son ami Pierre Erard, il faut désormais des claviers de femme. » Et des femmes au clavier.
