Jonathan Plowrigt
Jonathan Plowright is a British pianist who has
made a finc reputation with his recordings for
Hyperiron, notably with concertos by Zygnunt
Stojowski, some of whose solo works he included in
his recital, as well as a selection of pieces by
Paderewski. The longest work on this disc is his
performance of Francis Poulenc’s Les Soirées de
Nazelles. The suite was sketched in 1930 and
completed in 1936 at Noizay, near Amboise in the
Touraine region, where Poulenc acquired the
property called the Grand Coteau in 1927 and where
he composed most of his music thereafter. It is
considered by many to be one of Poulen’s finest
works, although the composer himself claimed to
dislike it.

Rarities of Piano Music 2003 ©
Here is a selection of items from the most recent festival of piano rarities in the historic castle of Husum in Schleswig-Holstein. We hope that it gives
a good impression of the variety of music that is always offered. As usual, all the pieces were recorded live and unedited. Since there are still comments from some listeners to the CDs about the recorded sound, the photograph taken by Nicolai Froundjian (the pianist is Fredrik Ullén) may help to show the size of the room. The audience numbers about 160 and there are five rows of seats. The ceiling is also quite low. While this gives an impressive close contact with the audience – it presents a particular challenge to the pianists using a full-sized Steinway, and naturally to the recording engineers. Over the years the sound has been refined, but it would be misleading to try and impose a concert hall acoustic. Therefore we hope that the interest in the musical content easily outweighs any drawbacks of the venue.
