About

Turkish pianist Fazil Say has proved himself unusually and exceptionally versatile in the course of his previous releases on Naïve, encompassing classical, jazz, improvisation and his own composition within his three discs.
 
A fourth is now added to the collection with this programme of Haydn sonatas, about which Say himself says: “The essence of Haydn’s music is life. His own life, or ours today, the life of performers and listeners, or whatever – in his music we meet so much that rings true. Behind each sonata, and even each movement, on this recording, I sense that there is a little story. And we as performers sometimes have to discover that story in our imagination, to tease out the concealed humour, the hidden sarcastic comments… Sometimes it seems as if, with the craziest elements in the composer’s armoury, he’s getting angry with the ‘boredom’ he sees around him, the people, the circumstances… Music becomes here a secret, intimate story that dispenses with words, but always has something to tell us…”
 
Fazil Say’s previous discs have been critically acclaimed with his Beethoven disc (V5016) in particular winning rave reviews, International Record Review describing Say as “a commanding technician with a strong, often compelling and stylish way with Beethoven” while Classic fM Magazine praised “an unbridled passion and poetic sensitivity that recalls the young Barenboim”.
