Description
Following the critically-acclaimed duo CD recorded with her husband Jeremy Menuhin, the pianist Mookie Lee-Menuhin is now presenting her debut Genuin Classics CD as a soloist. The musician has put together a subtle programme which is characterised by numerous cross-references: Berg's early Sonata, Op. 1, Schubert's extroverted Sonata in D Major, the Romanian Folk Dances by Bela Bartok, and the world premiere recording of Eric Tanguy's Toccata (2006). The works describe dealing with the past and traditions - and the break with these. Mookie Lee-Menuhin presents all this with a sophisticated sound and a gorgeous pianistic touch.
