Info zu Franck, Haydn, Rachmaninoff

César Francks Präludium, Fuge und Variation, ursprünglich für Orgel komponiert und von Stücken von J. S. Bach inspiriert, profitiert von Cavaillé-Colls Innovationen, die der Orgel ein virtuoses und farbenreiches Spiel ermöglichen. Der Pianist Ivan Yanakov spielt sie hier am Klavier ein, zusammen mit zwei anderen brillanten Werken: Joseph Haydns Sonate Nr. 31, deren anmutige Verzierungen der heiteren (und ungewöhnlichen) Tonart As-Dur entsprechen, und Sergej Rachmaninows Variationen über ein Thema von Corelli. Rachmaninovs letztes Werk für Soloklavier, das er nach fast 10-jähriger Pause in Frankreich komponierte, basiert auf dem Foliathema, das Corelli in seinem op. 5 verwendet hat, und zollt den romantischen Komponisten, allen voran Liszt, mit unbändiger Virtuosität und ergreifender Melancholie Tribut.
