Dvořák: Poetic Tone Pictures, Op.85
Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes presents this album Dvořák: Poetic Tone Pictures, op. 85. A rare jewel among the piano repertoire, Dvořák’s ‘Poetic Tone Pictures’, a cycle of piano solo works, is mostly unknown to the public. Dvořák’s piano compositions were largely overshadowed by his popular symphonies and chamber music works. With “Poetic Tone Pictures”, the composer offers a rich palette of various different moods, from romantic and dream-like, to wild and furious. Its poetic temperament and technically rewarding piano stylization make it a gem that not only Dvořák fans will find great pleasure in.
