About
The special feature of this complete recording: Linda Nicholson and Hiro Kurosaki did not simply use instruments of historical design, but rather the specific historical Viennese instruments from Beethoven's time for each of the sonatas. Through this careful selection of instruments, the two musicians come as close as possible to Beethoven's sound.
This project allows the consideration of otherwise neglected early works for this instrumentation, which thus also acquaint us with some rarities from the composer's pen that are worth hearing.
Linda Nicholson is one of the foremost keyboard players specialising in the performance of baroque, classical and early romantic music on instruments of the period. After studying at London University (B.Mus.) and the Royal College of Music, she won the first two international competitions held for the fortepiano. Since then she has gained an international reputation, performing in major festivals and concert series throughout Europe and the Far East.
Hiro Kurosaki studied in Vienna with Franz Samohyl at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst and attended masterclasses with Nathan Milstein. His career quickly developed and he gave concerts as soloist with, amongst others, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Vienna Symphony, and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg.
"The wiry, plangent sound of Kurosaki's 1801 violin is perfectly complemented by the percussive but singing tone of Linda Nicholson's Viennese fortepiano, especially effective in the powerful C minor Sonata Op 30 No 2." - The Observer (on Vol. 4)
