Jeremy Denk, piano
One of the most intellectually fascinating recordings from recent years, getting beyond the creativity of programming is the fact that Jeremy Denk is such a superlative musician. These works all ring with technical finesse while simultaneously creating moments of beauty. A most satisfying recording!
"... the most significant connection for me is between Beethoven's vast timeless canvas and Ligeti's bite-sized bits of infinity. Almost every étude visits the infinite; Ligeti uses it almost as a kind of cadence, a reference point. From simplicity, he ranges into unimaginable complexity; he wanders to the quietest and loudest extremes; he veers off the top and bottom of the keyboard. Always the infinite is lurking around, reminding you that it's not impossible, that it exists. I think of the way, among other things, Beethoven drifts off at the end of the Arietta, the way he indicates ending without ending, implies an infinite space of silence surrounding the work."
