Here he perfoms a diverse programme ranging though pieces by Haydn, Brahms, Borodin, Glinka and Schubert.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eIhle Hadland's musicianship has a refreshing openness and honesty; with an artistic presence that is indeed rare today. A true lyricist at the piano, Hadland is extremely fine-tuned into the most sensitive nuances of the music he performs.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eDisplaying an exceptional control of timbre and the most delicate and sensitive approach to the instrument imaginable, makes him a high-in-demand musician all over the world and a favourite both with audiences and music critics. Ihle Hadland's previous recordings of works by composers such as Chopin, Schumann, Grieg and Mozart, have rightfully received world-wide attention. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOn his third solo album for Simax Classics the extraordinary pianist approaches the musical landscape of Central-Europe and Russia. The melancholy permeates throughout the title track, 'Zhavoronok' (The Lark), by Mikhail Glinka \\u2013 a re-working for piano the Balakirev did by a song Glinka wrote after his marriage stranded. The melancholy is no less evident in Brahms' piano pieces or Haydn's Sturm und Drang-characterized piano sonata \\u2013 a lonesome swallow (or perhaps, lark) in minor amongst his many sonatas in the major key.\u003cp\u003eThe Lark\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169466204545,"sku":"603951","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61LYOLqDXqL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768077047","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/603951","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
