About This Item
Norwegian composer SVEIN HUNDSNES has written a considerable number of works ranging from concertos to pieces for young musicians. His piano music is stylistically wide-ranging and occupies a significant place in his oeuvre. Piano Sonata No. 2 exemplifies his practice of working from tiny core motifs as he makes a series of connections between each vivid movement. Syncopated rhythms animate Vinterdanser ('Winter Dances') - a sequence of round dances; whereas torches swirling in the air, a cradle song and clouds of illuminated water particles are magically evoked in Nuances de Lumière ('Shades of Light'). Finnish pianist Laura Mikkola, continues her critically acclaimed discovery, in this second volume of Hundsnes' piano works. Album Tracks 1. Piano Sonata No. 2~Con moto 2.
