About this product
Born in 1994, the British pianist Tyler Hay is a scholarship student at the Royal College of Music where he continues his studies with the eminent piano pedagogue Niel Immermann. He already has an impressive concert diary of recitals and concertos throughout the UK and beyond this is his debut recital, concentrating on a composer for whom he feels a particular affinity. Indeed his advocacy of Liszt has been recognised in the Liszt Society Competition in November 2016, when he won first prize. Tyler Hay's Liszt recital ranges over the composer's protean output. It opens with the Gothic splendour and intricate counterpoint of the Fantasy and Fugue on B-A-C-H but immediately continues in the much more intimate and elusive idiom of the first of the Valses oubliées, which are dispersed like hidden treasure throughout the album. Composed between 1881 and 1885, the Valses are fully representative examples of a 'late style' in Liszt, reflective mood-paintings that shift between pensiveness, resignation, and reverie. More extrovert works are interleaved with them. Tyler Hay plays Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este, the shimmering masterpiece of tone-color from the second book of the Années de pèlerinage. There is also the pianistic thunder and lightning of the First Mephisto Waltz, and the D flat major First Ballade, before a return to Gothic grandeur and Bach with the Variations on 'Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen'. Tyler Hay closes this assured debut recital, appropriately enough, with a farewell the Abschied which is a setting of a Russian folksong supplied to Liszt by his pupil Alexander Siloti a model of quiet simplicity and one of the composer's most touching miniatures. Album Tracks 1. Fantasy and Fugue on the Theme B.A.C.H 2. Valse Oubliée No. 1 3. Les Jeux D'eaux À la Villa D'este 4. Valse Oubliée No. 2 5. Mephisto Waltz No. 1 6. Valse Oubliée No. 3 7

John Ogdon was one of the great musical geniuses of the 20th century. His astonishing career on the concert saw him become one of the world's most popular pianists after winning joint 1st prize in the 1962 International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition. Away from his life as a pianist, he was privately a very passionate composer throughout his career and despite his extremely heavy concert schedule, managed to write approximately two hundred works. Despite a small handful of works that were published during his lifetime, the rest of Ogdon's manuscripts have remained almost entirely unexplored. Due to his pianistic ambitions, composition was always an unfocused pastime to John Ogdon and it is perhaps the reason why his writing style is sporadic and difficult to define. It is arguable that his best work was produced in the late 1950's and 60's before his infamous breakdown and they display a rather neo-romantic style, contrary to the avant-garde atonality written by most of his Manchester contemporaries. Despite enormous technical complexities, the piano writing is also wonderfully idiomatic and gives tremendous insight into the geographical facility of one of history's most renowned piano techniques. This recording presents the four most important solo piano works from John Ogdon's early years as a composer. InchI do enjoy composing, especially for the piano - I look on composing as a hobby that I enjoy. I devote myself more to playing and treat composition as a spare time thing.Inch (John Ogdon) Album Tracks 1. Sonata InchDedicated to My Friend Stephen BishopInch 2. Ballade 3. Kaleidoscope No. 1 (6 Caprices) 4. Variations and Fugue
