Ohana’s music is not easy, for sure; but it possesses a remarkable power to impress, to question and – more importantly – to communicate. He was a highly personal, sincere and utterly honest composer who painstakingly ploughed his furrow regardless of any current fashion, but who remained attentive to what was going on around him as a musician and as a man. This release provides a fair introduction to Ohana’s personal sound-world; and, as such, is warmly recommended to anyone who might like to explore this important composer’s music at lesser expense. My bargain of the month.
This disc is a wonderful way to showcase Leif Ove Andsnes’ pianistic talents in contemporary music; not a genre usually associated with him. It is much more than just an exercise in virtuosity, though it takes a real virtuoso to make these at times knotty works sound as spontaneous as they do here. The program is well balanced, too, beginning and ending with solo pieces by the Dane Bent Sørensen that frame two major piano concertos. Eight selections from Kurtág’s continuing series of miniature “games,” forms the disc’s midpoint. Not all the works presented are of equal quality, though. I found the two Sorensen pieces rather slight in comparison with the other works and have not completely made up my mind about Dalbavie’s Piano Concerto. There is no doubt, however, that Lutosławski’s Piano Concerto and the Kurtág Játékok selections are masterpieces that have gained a foothold in the late twentieth-century repertoire.
