Info for Haydn - Ligeti: Concertos & Capriccios
Two great Hungarian composers to compare and contrast in a highly original programme from pianist Shai Wosner. Haydn & Liget's Capriccios for solo piano and both the Haydn piano concertos together with the Ligeti piano concerto complete this delightful and thought provoking recording.
Pianist Shai Wosner presents a pairing of concertos and capriccios from Haydn and Ligeti. Both prodigious figures in their lifetimes, they are connected through Central-European folk music and a shared affinity for combining humor and seriousness.
This program includes Haydn's Piano Concertos Nos.4 and 11, Capriccio in G Major (subtitled, 'It takes eight of you to castrate a boar') and Fantasia (Capriccio in C) alongside Ligeti's Capriccios Nos. 1 and 2 and his celebrated Piano Concerto, which flirts with disorder and reveals his love of the absurd.
