About

A second album from the virtuoso young pianist, every bit as good if not better than the first! Major works and a new commission make this a scintillating listen. Magnificent technique and marvelous musicianship demonstrate this young artist's virtuosity. An album full of contrast and variety utterly representative of Richard Uttley.

"My starting point for this collection of sonatas was Berg’s Op.1, a work I have known and loved for many years. I took its brevity as a theme, and chose other short sonatas that together would provide an interesting array of ‘takes’ on the concept of the piano sonata. I was delighted to be able to commission a new sonata specially for this disc, from Timothy Jackson. With the exception of this and the MacMillan, all the works come from the early twentieth century. In these notes I have tried to give some idea of the overtones implied by the title ‘Sonata’, and suggest interesting ways of hearing the ones brought together here." - Richard Uttley

"In all, this recital challenges, illuminates and entertains in equal measure: a very worthy release." - BBC Music magazine

"I find this disc most attractive and indicative of a pianist with something to say." - International Record Review
