Description
The Stephen Hough Piano Collection, available at budget price, brings together tracks from all eleven of Stephen Hough’s acclaimed solo recordings on Hyperion, from Gramophone Award-winning Mompou, through rarely trodden byways of Weber and Reynolds, to the pianistic titans of Chopin, Brahms and Liszt.
Seven tracks are released for the first time on this new recording: the six-movement Suite Osmanthus and the arrangement of Pining for the Spring Breeze show Hough to be a composer with a distinctive voice as well as a consummate master of the piano.
The booklet includes tantalizing commentaries by Stephen Hough, biographical information and a comprehensive discography.
