Liszt, Reubke & Mendelssohn: Organ Works
Studio Master: KGS0010  Download only  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

'Cleobury is on peak form. Clearly he has had the music in his fingers and feet for many years: one is left with the sense that all problems were solved long ago … and of course, the King's College organ is 'his' instrument. He exploits its full resources with taste, discernment and piquancy' (Gramophone)

„Vor einem Jahr hatte sich die kanadische Pianistin und Bach-Spezialistin Angela Hewitt im Anschluss an ihre 14-teilige Einspielung von Klavierwerken Bachs bei Hyperion noch einmal intensiv der 'Kunst der Fuge' zugewandt. Nun also folgen die große h-Moll-Sonate, die Dante-Sonate und drei Petrarca-Sonetten von Liszt in einer Interpretation, die in ihrer Ruhe und Strenge mit Hewitts Bach-Interpretationen in vielfacher Weise verwandt ist“ (Piano News, Germany)» More

„Ja, man fühlt sich fast an das Spiel eines Barock Orchesters erinnert, wenn man eine Sonate wie die B-Dur-Sonate KV 333 von ihm hört. Dabei ist nichts schwerfällig, sondern aufgrund der stupenden Technik des Pianisten alles von einer charmanten Leichtigkeit durchwirkt, die Mozarts Schreibweise zu einem neuen Erlebnis werden lässt“ (Piano News, Germany)» More
