Description
The tenth and final installment of an exciting and substantial project: the recording of the complete piano sonatas by Dussek! * Johann Ladislaus Dussek (1760-1812) was born in rural Bohemia. He led a restless life, travelling Europe as a keyboard virtuoso and settling in several European capitals, notably Paris and London, where he became a fashionable pianist and teacher. * Dussek's style is rich, harmonically expressive and pianistically challenging, Classicism on the brink of Early Romanticism. * This last recording in the series contains the three sonatas Op. 35 and the sonata Op. 69 No. 3, played by Hungarian fortepiano player Petra Somlai. She studied at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, and later on in Amsterdam and The Hague, specializing in the playing on period instruments. She gained international attention by winning first prize and the audience award at the prestigious International Fortepiano Competition in Bruges (Belgium).
