About this product

Sigismond Thalberg was a virtuoso pianist whose training included studies with Mozart's pupil Johann Hummel, and whose rivalry with Franz Liszt became the talk of Paris in the 1830s. Thalberg excelled in the fashionable solo piano genre of operatic paraphrase but, while drawing on themes by the ever-popular Rossini, Les Soirées de Pausilippe avoids ostentatious excess. Instead Thalberg preferred an elegant simplicity in which the piano is allowed to sing in emulation of the operatic originals. With rhythmic dances, expressive arias and more, this is a collection that embraces moods that range from Mendelssohnian charm to Chopinesque pianism. Album Tracks 1. Les Soirées de Pausilippe, Op. 75 Hommage À Rossini 24 Pensées Musicales (1862) 2. Andantino in a Flat Major 3. Moderato in E Major 4. Molto Agitato in a Minor 5. Andantino in D Major 6. Tarentella in G minor 7. Vivace in E Flat Major 8. Lento in C Major 9. Presto in a Minor 10. Andantino in D Major 11. Cantabile in B Flat Major 12. Allegretto in F Major 13.

Sigismond Thalberg was one of the most distinguished pianists of his time, embarking on a solo career in the 1830s and touring as far as the Americas. Thalberg was considered a rival to Liszt though their supposed animosity was largely a journalistic invention. The creation of transcriptions of popular operatic melodies and their transformation into virtuoso concert pieces was hugely fashionable, but Thalberg's treatments were also admired by Schumann for their Classical transparency, and for stylish technical innovations that saw him imitated throughout Europe. These fantasies on themes by Donizetti are full of the lyrical charm and drama of the original operas, combined with pianistic fireworks that delighted audiences worldwide. Album Tracks 1.
