Info zu The Beethoven Connection, Volume 2

Mit „The Beethoven Connection, Volume 2“ setzt Jean-Efflam Bavouzet seine Beschäftigung mit Werken von Komponisten aus Beethovens Zeit fort. Das zweite Album der Reihe versammelt Klavierwerke von Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Muzio Clementi und Ludwig Berger sowie Carl Czernys „Marcia funebre sulla morte di Luigi van Beethoven“, Op. 146 (Trauermarsch auf den Tod von Ludwig van Beethoven). Auf dem Programm stehen dabei vier unterschiedliche Aspekte der Klaviermusik des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts – von der groß angelegten Sonate bis zum charakteristischen Trauermarsch.

Bavouzet versteht die Reihe als Blick auf das musikalische Umfeld Beethovens und damit auch auf die Voraussetzungen und Wechselwirkungen, die seine Musik prägten. Die Auswahl entstand erneut mit Beratung des Musikhistorikers und Beethoven-Spezialisten Marc Vignal.
