Liszt / Grante - Hungarian Rhapsodies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Telemann was among the most admired and prolific of composers and his compositions encompass virtually all genres and instrumentations known in his lifetime. The 'Six Ouvertures,' strangely neglected for many years, reveal his inventive and imaginative writing for solo harpsichord. They contain elements that suggest an amalgam of French and Italianate influences, whether 'ouverture-suite' or three-movement concerto or sonata. Also evident, in the central movements, is Telemann's preference for Polish folk music, of whose 'true barbaric beauty' he was an ardent admirer. Gaku Nakagawa was born in 1993 in Japan. He began playing piano at the age of four, and in 2012 entered the University of Tokyo to study philosophy. Without ever having a harpsichord lesson, he became the first prize winner of the 27th YAMANASHI, Japan, international competition for early music in 2014. This is his debut recording.
