Joseph Haydn: Klaviersonaten H16 Nr.32,34,50 on Super Audio CD
Klaviersonaten H16 Nr.32,34,50
The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).

Nach seinem fulminanten Debüt 2005 mit Scarlatti-Sonaten hat sich Sudbin zunächst mit russischen Komponisten (Rachmaninov, Medtner, Tchaikovsky, Scriabin) beschäftigt. Jetzt kehrt er zurück ins 18. Jahrhundert zu einem Komponisten, der ihn ähnlich fasziniert wie Scarlatti: Joseph Haydn. Seine „raffinierte Einfachheit und gleichzeitig der Bruch aller Konventionen“ findet Sudbin besonders bemerkenswert. Entsprechend hat er exemplarische Werke für diese Einspielung ausgesucht, „musikalische Späße“. Wobei, wie er bemerkt, solche Späße nicht leicht in der Interpretation glaubhaft zu machen sind.
The release in 2005 of Yevgeny Sudbin’s first disc, a selection of Scarlatti sonatas, caused a sensation. A number of reviewers compared it favourably to the legendary recordings by Horowitz in the same repertoire, and on the BBC Radio 3 CD Review, the result was described as follows: ‘It's as if he's dragged Scarlatti off a dusty museum shelf and brought him out into the sunshine where both he and the music are happily basking.’ Sudbin’s following discs focussed on Russian composers from later periods – Rachmaninov, Medtner, Tchaikovsky and Scriabin – and received similar acclaim in the international music press. He now returns to the 18th century of Scarlatti, however, and to a composer who holds a similar place in his affections, namely Joseph Haydn. As Sudbin writes in his own liner notes, one of the qualities in this composer which he finds particularly endearing is Haydn’s ‘delight in silliness, outrageous wit and the breaking of all conventions’. The works chosen for this recital are by no means mere light-weight ‘musical jokes’, however; for instance they include the profoundly beautiful Andante con variazioni in F minor, which some have suggested was written in response to the death of Mozart. And as Sudbin himself acknowledges, musical jokes are easier to tell than to play; to use stand-up comedy tricks during a ‘serious’ recital risks turning it ‘into a sit-down tragedy’. Any joking is therefore strictly within the musical parameters – but that being said, Sudbin does enjoy himself in Haydn, and encourages his audiences to do likewise: ‘The odd carefully timed pianissimo chuckle is definitely among the less irritating noises you get in a concert hall’. In an affectionate tribute to the composer, Sudbin ends his recital with Larking with Haydn, his own tongue-in-cheek arrangement of the Finale of the Lark Quartet.
Reviews
FonoForum 10/10: "Sudbins differenzierter Anschlag, sein dosierter Pedaleinsatz, die Klarheit seiner Artikulation ermöglichen ihm ein facettenreiches Klavierspiel. So gelingt es ihm zu Beginn der C-Dur-Sonate, die einzeln absteigenden Töne dynamisch wunderbar abgestuft in die Tasten zu tupfen, ohne dass das Ganze schroff oder cembaloartig trocken klingt. Im Finale der e-Moll-Sonate findet er nach wenigen Takten durch winzige Zurücknahme eine überzeugende Lösung, um die Moll-Stimmung zu markieren, zumal sich keine Spur von Kitsch einstellt. Den dramatischen, operngeschulten Haydn stellt Sudbin in der C-Dur-Fantasie vor. Wem das alles nicht als Qualitätsnachweis genügt, sollte sich den Booklet-Text anschauen. Der stammt vom Pianisten und ist blitzgescheit."-
