About
This new recording contains the main body of piano music by Czech composer Leos Janáček: the Piano Sonata, the complete cycle On an Overgrown Path and the cycle In The Mists.
• Janáček’s piano music is highly personal, his language immediately recognizable: short, almost aphoristic motives form the basis of a highly dramatic discourse. The Sonata was written after the death of a man during a worker’s demonstration and expresses a deep and bleak despair.
The cycle In The Mists and On An Overgrown Path contain miniatures of sometimes violent, sometimes painfully intimate emotions.
• Zoltán Fejérvári is one of the most exciting young pianists to emerge from present day Hungary. A recipient of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and 1st prize winner of the Montréal Piano Competition he played with the Budapest Festival Orchestra/Iván Fischer, with Zoltán Kocsis, at the Verbier Festival, Washington Library of Congress, Carnegie Weill Hall and many international Music Festivals. He is a member of the “Building Bridges” program of Sir András Schiff.
