Haydn: The 7 Last Words of Christ

•Pianist Alexei Lubimov's encounter with the “tangent piano” (a metal piece – the tangent – strikes the strings) and its singular sonority inspired him to want to record this piano transcription of Haydn's “The Seven Last Words of Christ”. This disc attests to how much the relation between a certain kind of writing and a particular instrument can contribute to the comprehension of a work.
