Garrick Ohlsson - Carl Maria Von Weber Complete Sonatas
Review by Jose Rodolfo Alves de Sousa joserodolfoas
Garrick Ohlsson's rendition of Carl Maria Von Weber's Complete Sonatas is a breathtaking masterpiece. Ohlsson's technical proficiency and musical sensitivity are on full display in this album, which features some of Weber's most complex and challenging compositions.
The album begins with Sonata No. 1 in C major, which is characterized by its lively tempo and intricate harmonies. Ohlsson's masterful touch brings out the nuances of the piece, highlighting the interplay between the different voices and the intricate counterpoint.
In Sonata No. 2 in A flat major, Ohlsson demonstrates his incredible skill in conveying the emotional depth of Weber's music. The slow second movement is particularly moving, with Ohlsson's delicate touch bringing out the melancholic beauty of the piece.
The album also features the rarely performed Sonata No. 3 in D minor, which is a true tour de force. Ohlsson's technical prowess is on full display in this piece, with his lightning-fast fingers navigating the complex runs and arpeggios with ease.
