Title: Piano Concertos 2 Artist: Sophie-Mayuko Vetter Label: Oehms Product Type: COMPACT DISCS UPC: 4260330917102 Genre: Classical Release Date: 2019-10-18 Number of Discs: 1
Pianist Sophie-Mayuko Vetter presents the world premiere recording of a reconstruction of around 70 pages of sketches for Beethoven's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 6 in D major (fragment) by Nicholas Cook and Hermann Dechant. Another special feature of this release is that the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 0 in E flat major, WoO 4 is heard in period style, performed on a fortepiano made by the London piano manufacturer John Broadwood in 1806. The expressive and harmonically rich vocabulary of the Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 19 clearly demonstrates the young Beethoven's development as an autonomous Viennese classicist. Sophie-Mayuko Vetter has been praised as an artist of extraordinary expressivity and versatility by press and colleagues alike. Her previous recording on OehmsClassics received an ICMA nomination and was awarded a Supersonic rating by Pizzicato: 'Deeply felt performances of two Mozart concertos, where Sophie-Mayuko Vetter's playing can be compared with that of Clara Haskil, Geza Anda or the young Barenboim.'
