Samuil Feinberg Piano Sonatas

[4candles]

Some members may be interested to note that Hyperion are to release the first 6 of Feinberg's Piano Sonatas in March 2020, played by Marc-André Hamelin.
I would venture this is quite a highly anticipated release – I have certainly been waiting for it for some time.

Currently one excerpt available here.

I suspect, sadly, that not all of this release will fall within our remit. We'll see...

[4candles]

Ah! Of course. I've neglected to remember the forum guidelines. Apologies. Delete as necessary mods.

[Alan Howe]

No to worry. Let's keep this open until we've established the facts. Maybe the early sonata(s) will fit...

[FBerwald]

I heard the BIS set many years ago so I don't remember very clearly but my impression was that the earlier ones were in a (late) Scriabin idiom. As they progress they get more chromatic and abstract.

[Alan Howe]

That was my understanding too.
