Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 36 (1913 version)
10 Preludes, Op. 23

Two giant works: the lesser played 1913 version of Op. 36, Piano Sonata No. 2, an epic piece in the truest sense of the word - and Op. 23, 10 Preludes, an intimate cycle, both challenge the physical and psychological limits of the player and the listener. With the help of the Bösendorfer Concert Grand 280VC – Vienna Concert this recording dives deep into the rich, orchestral sound world, as well as the dark nature of these works, loaded with ?ne details, technical and emotional extremities, candid moments and explosivity.
