Ian Holtham, piano
This disc reveals the mastery and control of the keyboard which makes Ian Holtham such an exciting and highly acclaimed pianist. Featuring Chopin's 'Twenty-Four Études Op. 10 & Op. 25', perfect examples of their genre, wonderfully innovative in their textures and uncompromisingly challenging in their technical difficulties.
Also includes four studies by Godowsky which use Chopin's études as compositional points of departure and are some of the most demanding and intriguing compositions ever conceived for the piano. Press quotes:
“One must still admire Holtham's tenacity in such difficult repertory and his maintenance of clarity and musicianship in the face of such odds.”
— Tony Way, The Age - Green Guide “shows the mastery and control of the keyboard which makes Holtham such an exciting performer ... Melbourne is indeed lucky to have such a resident talent.”— 3MBS FM Libretto Audio preview:
