about the release
Andreas Haefliger’s concept of replicating his recital programmes on record has been a critical and commercial success. The fourth instalment in the Perspectives series juxtaposes Beethoven with works that are inspired and influenced by that composer’s great corpus of piano sonatas. The idiosyncratic Op. 78 and the celebrated Waldstein Sonata, a boundary-breaking work when it was composed in 1804, rub shoulders with Brahms’ early and impulsive Sonata No. 2. The programme provocatively opens with Janáček’s Sonata, “From the Street”, which, in Haefliger’s words “takes you into worlds of tragedy, metaphysical thought, a world of death, of serenity”.
This release preserves the vivid memories of Haefliger’s live international performances throughout the 2008-09.
Perspective 4 carries on the series cover concept, making it easy for consumers to identify and collect them all.
critical acclaim
“The idea of recording for CD piano-recital programmes designed for the concert hall is a good one, provided that the programmes make musical sense and that the spontaneity of live performance can be preserved. On both counts, Haefliger succeeds.” – The Sunday Times
“A memorable, genuinely stunning performance” – Los Angeles Times
“taste, imagination, no apparent technical limitations, and, very significantly, an ingrained respect for the composers
he is bringing to life” – Fanfare
