Denis Kozhukhin presents a new album with works by Joseph Haydn: "Sonates", which offers a fresh and insightful journey through the composer's piano repertoire. Haydn's piano sonatas are bursting with invention, drama and humor and are in no way inferior to the brilliance of his symphonies and quartets. Kozhukhin takes up this repertoire anew and reveals the expressive depth and sparkling originality in a recital full of striking contrasts and character. From the serene Allegro of the early D major Sonate, Hob XVI: 4, to the restless intensity of the C minor Sonate, Hob XVI: 20, each work reflects Haydn's inexhaustible inventiveness and subtle mastery of piano structures. As winner of prestigious competitions, including the Queen Elizabeth Competition, Denis Kozhukhin has established himself as one of the most celebrated pianists of his generation. His previous albums have been highly praised by both critics and audiences.
