Dark Tea - Dark Tea II - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Pianist David Kadouch has lost count of the number of times he has had to talk about, or hear about, the love triangle between Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Johannes Brahms; or Beethoven's Immortal Beloved. It's time to talk about other love stories that had just as much influence on the way these composers created their music. On this album, you will hear seven composers who, in their daily lives, could not be themselves. The music they have composed is a veritable refuge where the notes free themselves from words to reveal the essence of their feelings.

The Czech composer and inventor who was considered to be among the first piano virtuosos, Jan Ladislaw Dussek (1760-1812) was a pupil of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, who proved to be an enduring influence in Dussek's piano works. Dussek's 3 Piano Sonatas, dedicated to Muzio Clementi mark an auspicious debut for the Rome Fortepiano International Competition winner, Naruhiko Kawaguchi. Dussek's works that are written with virtuosity and dramatic range are perfectly matched with Kawaguchi technique and sensitivity.
