Info zu Clementi: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 1

Das vorliegende Album widmet sich ganz dem Klavierwerk von Muzio Clementi, dem "Vater des Klaviers". Clementi komponierte fast 110 Klaviersonaten. Erik Satie, ein Zeitgenosse von Debussy, parodierte später den Stil der frühen Sonaten (auch "Sonatinen") in seiner "Sonatine bureaucratique".

Für das erste Doppel-Album seiner geplanten Aufnahme aller Clementi-Klaviersonaten hat Giacomo Scinardo eine attraktive Auswahl an bekannten (op. 50 / 3, "Didone abbandonata") und unbekannten, aber nicht weniger reizvollen, Werken ausgewählt. Nach wie vor sind die Klaviersonaten von Clementi wesentlicher Bestandteil bei der pianistischen Ausbildung von Profis und Amateuren. Eine Neuaufnahme dieser stilistisch vielseitigen Werke ist demnach hochwillkommen.
