product description
Michael Wessel - piano
Enchantingly beautiful, technically brilliant
The brilliant piano sonata by the tragically early deceased Liszt student Julius Reubke is feared by pianists even more than the great B minor Sonata of his teacher. Probably because of its almost monstrous technical and musical demands, it is rarely heard live.
Michael Wessel plays with powerful grip, savoring the sensual moments in beautiful tones and with absolute confidence in form. Technically and musically brilliant. Julius Reubke, with his compelling polyphonic structural awareness, is, so to speak, the Brahms of the Liszt school. Yet the style of the sonata is harmonically and compositionally so bold and new that even the innovator Richard Wagner did not venture into similar chromatic interweavings until much later.
In this production, Reubke is juxtaposed with Richard Wagner, the jubilee of the year 2013. Included are Wagner's enchantingly beautiful yet almost unknown Wesendonck Sonata and fantasies on Wagner's operas by Franz Liszt, from the time of the creation of Reubke's sonata. They are confronted with later works such as Liszt's adaptations of Isolde's Liebestod and the March to the Holy Grail from Parsifal.
Through the clever programming, Michael Wessel enables an intense immersion into the period between 1853 and 1882, during which the foundations for 20th-century music were laid.
