Description
On The Austrian Connection, pianist Sarah Beth Briggs traces an arc through three decades of compositional tradition from Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert through to Hans Gál.
Much lauded for her interpretations of Hans Gál's concerto and chamber music works, Sarah Beth Briggs presents the composer's beguiling Three Preludes alongside well-loved works by three of his greatest Austrian forebears – Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. Following meticulous examination of the original scores, Briggs sensitively translates the authentic character of each work to the resources of a modern piano with revelatory results.
"Her playing is always elegant and tasteful, intelligent and sensitive, and in this new release she brings all these qualities to repertoire which she clearly adores." - The Cross-Eyed Pianist
