Presto Chart,
The Presto Chart - January 2022
Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin's revelatory recital of keyboard sonatas and rondos by CPE Bach on Hyperion topped the chart last month, with Paul Lewis's equally ear-opening accounts of Brahms's late piano works on Harmonia Mundi following hard upon; you can read our recent interview with Marc (in which he describes the joys of exploring CPE's 'fascinating trove of treasures') here.
