Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.This latest recital album by u2018the thinking personu2019s virtuoso: an extraordinary pianistu2019 (The New York Times) takes the listener on a journey through that most intense and absorbing of nineteenth-century obsessions, the night. The Romantic night was one without sleep; where experiences are mutated through darkness. Stephen Houghu2019s thoughtful programming creates a new aural sphere for some of the most celebrated piano works in the repertoire.rrHough begins with Schumannu2019s troubled, reeling u2018In der Nachtu2019 from Fantasiestucke, and continues with Beethovenu2019s u2018Moonlightu2019 Sonata and Chopinu2019s two Op 27 Nocturnes.rWith Schumannu2019s Carnaval we eavesdrop on one of the most vibrant parties in the nineteenth-century piano literature, with its panoply of brilliantly etched character sketches depicting both real peopleu2014such as Chopin and Paganiniu2014and imaginary ones. Each movement is vividly contrasted; there are moments of unbridled ecstasy, elegant poise and elusive subtlety.rAlso included is Stephen Houghu2019s own Piano Sonata No 2 u2018notturno luminosou2019, which he describes as u2018about a different kind of night u2026 the brightness of a brash city in the hours of darkness; the loneliness of pre-morning; sleeplessness and the dull glow of the alarm clocku2019s unmoving hours; the irrational fears which are only darkened by the harsh glare of a suspended, dusty light bulb'.
