{"product_id":"fantasia-contrappuntistica-chopin-variation","title":"Busoni: Fantasia contrappuntistica; Chopin Variations; Sonat","description":"Peter Donohoe's first album devoted to Busoni was enthusiastically received by the critics, and nominated for a BBC Music Magazine award. This second volume offers playing and musicality of the same high standards. His programme opens with two of Busoni's finest Bach transcriptions, widely seen as a pinnacle of the repertoire for pianistic virtuosity, and much more widely played than Busoni's own compositions. This is followed by the Variations on Chopin's Prelude in C minor - a work in which Busoni demonstrates his innate skill of re-interpretation, and his mastery of counterpoint, and a piece he reworked several times. The following works are 'all Busoni' - the first and second sonatinas, and the Fantasia contrappuntistica, in the composer's later adaptation for two pianos. The first Steinway Artist of Indian origin, Karl Lutchmayer is equally renowned as a concert pianist, a lecturer, and a broadcaster. He joins Peter Donohoe in the Fantasia, and also performs the Second Sonatina.","brand":"Chandos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49309953949976,"sku":"095115234228","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4386492-3298191.jpg?v=1777492346","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/fantasia-contrappuntistica-chopin-variation","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
