Pianist Llyr Williams explores Wagner s rich and evocative sound-world from a less well-known angle. Featuring insightful arrangements of Richard Wagner s operas by Franz Liszt and Glenn Gould (as well as Williams own arrangement of music from 'Parsifal'), at the centre of the programme is a selection of Wagner s own piano pieces many of which were written earlier in his compositional career, hinting at the grand operatic masterworks which were yet to come.
***** 'Williams is a master accompanist … pure bliss.' –Marius Dawn Pianist Magazine, October - November 2014
'pianophile catnip … An uplifting disc.' –Hugh Canning The Sunday Times, 19th October 2014
'a varied and rich programme enriched by Williams s velvet touch, meticulous voicing, attention to detail and judiciously graded dynamics.' –Jeremy Nicholas Gramophone, November 2014
