Tamami Honma (piano)About
While opus numbers traditionally guide the dating of Beethoven's works, exceptions abound, notably in the case of the op.49 Sonatas. This collection challenges the conventional exclusion of the early "Kurfürst" Sonatas, shedding light on Beethoven's formative years as a composer. Musicologist Professor Barry Cooper's advocacy for their inclusion, based on their publication by Beethoven himself and their intrinsic merit, finds resonance in this comprehensive set.
Pianist Tamami Honma brings these sonatas to life with precision, adhering closely to Cooper's editorial corrections in the ABRSM edition. Cooper's meticulous research, comparing original manuscripts, early editions, and historical sources, ensures an authentic interpretation of Beethoven's intentions, from note values to nuanced articulation. This collection is not merely a recording; it is a vibrant testament to Beethoven's brilliance, offering a fresh perspective on his extraordinary works.
Renowned Japanese-American pianist Tamami Honma is celebrated for her expressive and captivating performances, earning acclaim in prestigious venues such as Wigmore Hall, St John’s Smith Square, and Carnegie Hall. Her recordings, including the Chopin concertos with the Vilnius String Quartet, have garnered five-star reviews in Gramophone and the BBC Music Magazine. As a distinguished piano performance educator, Honma serves on the music faculty at Stanford University and Santa Clara University.
