Info for 24 Preludes & Fugues, Op. 87

Nach Bachs Goldberg-Variationen, für die er weltweit ausgezeichnet wurde (u. a. mit dem Diapason d'Or), stellt sich Hannes Minnaar einem "Klassiker" des Repertoires des 20. Jahrhunderts: Schostakowitschs Präludien und Fugen aus dem Jahr 1951. Auch hier treten die Qualitäten seines Klavierspiels, für die er als einer der führenden Musiker unserer Zeit anerkannt ist, ins Rampenlicht: die Vielfalt des Anschlags und die Geschmeidigkeit zwischen Spannung und Ruhe, die jedes Präludium und jede Fuge charakterisieren, die Präzision des Tons, das Fehlen jeglicher Affektiertheit, eine natürliche Finesse in Phrasierung und Artikulation und eine Vertrautheit mit der Partitur, die Hand in Hand mit einer Frische geht, die ein Gefühl der Improvisation hervorruft. Hier treffen wir auf einen neuen Meilenstein in dem überfüllten Feld der Interpretationen dieser wunderbaren Musik.

Hannes Minnaar, Klavier

Hannes Minnaar
studied piano with Jan Wijn at the Amsterdam Conservatory, concluding his studies with distinction in 2009. He won prizes at the Concours de Genève and the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels.

Minnaar has performed as a soloist with various orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, and the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona, under conductors such as Herbert Blomstedt, Eliahu Inbal and Marin Alsop.

Hannes was awarded a Fellowship by the Borletti-Buitoni Trust in 2011. His three solo albums are highly acclaimed. His debut album was awarded an Edison and Gramophone published a full-page article about this album. The same magazine wrote about his second album Bach inspirations: “After Minnaar’s debut disc, this makes two hits in a row”. BBC Music Magazine selected it as “Instrumental choice of the month” with 5 stars. His third album with piano music of Gabriel Fauré received rave reviews by both national and international press. Gramophone wrote: “Minnaar’s identification with this unique realm of music is complete and his deeply felt interpretations shine with clarity and infinite nuance.”

In 2016 Hannes has received the Dutch Music Award. This award is the highest honor that can be bestowed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) to a musician working in the field of classical music.

Minnaar has recorded all of Beethoven’s piano concertos for Challenge Classics, together with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra and Jan Willem de Vriend. The Fifth (Emperor) was given the accolade of BBC Radio 3’s ‘Building a Library’ recommended recording in 2019. Minnaar made his Meesterpianisten series debut in April 2019 in de Main Hall of the Concertgebouw.
