About this product
'She is adventurous, as well as accomplished' (Fanfare) - Ilia Kim's second volume of Clementi for Piano Classics juxtaposes a quartet of musical 'trifles' with a trio of adventurous mid-period sonatas. In Ilia Kim's new recital, Clementi comes across in all his remarkable individuality. She opens with the F sharp minor Sonata Op.25 No.5 a work stirred by strong passions, far from the polite, elegant and superficial manner with which Clementi is sometimes associated, reaching a powerful climax in it's Lento e patetico slow movement. By contrast, the D major Sonata Op.25 No.6 is a work of Haydnesque high spirits and uncomplicated good humor, in which the chromatic harmony lending such pathos to Op.25 No.5 takes on an air of mischief. The Sonata Op.37 No.2 was published in 1798, and belongs to the period of his maturity. The first movement is symphonic in scale and reminiscent of Haydn. The second is clearly inspired by Handel, while the lively finale is a like a dazzling finale to a comic opera. The sonata embodies and reconciles different styles, even within the first movement, where the first theme in the symphonic style alternates with the counterpoint of the second theme and the brilliant piano style of the connections and developments. Korean born, Italian resident Ilia Kim performs across Europe and the Far East, specializing in thematically linked programs of Romantic repertoire. Her experience as a fortepianist also informs her playing of Classical-era repertoire on the piano such as these Clementi recordings for Piano Classics.

![Ilia Kim - The Young DebuSSy - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/647b6c16-b196-4553-9f57-79244c6fa9ce.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
?One of the threads that runs through Debussy's music is an expressive range that embraces the tragic to the grotesque. This is especially evident in his early piano music. The Suite bergamasque is the masterpiece of his pre-Raphaelite period, a compound of archaism, rich lyricism and decadence. Pour le piano also evokes a medieval atmosphere, while - in it's Toccata finale - offering perpetual motion virtuosity. There is an oriental ethos in the Nocturne, the Rêverie is an alluring portrait, and Images oubliées - which was unpublished as a set until as late as 1977 - contains both rich portraiture and burlesque.

Born on June 29th, 1864 in the small village of Kohlberg in Upper Palatinate, Anton Beer-Walbrunn hails from the same area as the composers Christoph Willibald Gluck and Max Reger. He taught composition, counterpoint, theory of harmony as well as the piano and was acknowledged as a teacher of great popularity. As a composer whose style was greatly influenced by the classic and romantic tradition, but who also took up modern ideas in the music of the turn of the 19th century, he created numerous works for almost all musical genres. Hanns-Friedrich Kaiser dedicates himself to the organ works of the composer. Hanns-Friedrich Kaiser began his musical training as a choirboy during his school days. After graduating he studied organ and church music at the Staatliche Hochschule fur Musik in Munich, completing his studies with honors. At his numerous organ concerts, he has emerged as an outstanding interpreter, especially of Reger organ music.
