Leos Janácek & Carl Nielsen – Piano Music

“Neither of those two contemporaneous but wildly different composers wrote much piano music, but what little they did produce was of very high quality. Andsnes is master of their idioms, and gives especially spare and impassioned accounts of the three great Janácek’s works.“
