Reviews

‘Jacobs treats the music with affection, but also respect; he's served by an excellent recording’ (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)

‘Well worth the attention of those who enjoy piano music that seeks merely to soothe, charm and enchant’ (Gramophone)

‘In this well recorded, presented and imaginatively conceived issue we see again just how well Hyperion can produce the goods! It is a particular pleasure to see this issue on the market’ (CDReview)

La lisonjera (‘The flatterer’) is a kind of witty serenade in D flat. Its capricious melody displays some Spanish turns of phrase, and indeed the work makes an agreeable parallel to Debussy’s La sérénade interrompue.

La lisonjera («La flatteuse») est d’inspiration simple, une sorte de sérénade spirituelle en ré bémol. On trouve dans sa mélodie capricieuse quelques tours de phrase espagnols, et le morceau est en fait un parallèle agréable à La sérénade interrompue de Debussy.

Français: Alain Midoux

La lisonjera („Die Schmeichlerin“) ist eine Art geistreicher Serenade in Des-Dur. Ihre kapriziöse Melodie zeichnet sich durch einige spanische Wendungen aus, wie auch das ganze Werk eine durchaus liebenswerte Parallele zu Debussys Sérénade interrompue abgibt.
