Hannes Lover - Beethoven, Schumann, Ravel - World Pianists

4 Nachtstücke, op. 23
Hannes Minnaar (piano)
  • I. Mehr langsam, oft zurückhaltend (Trauerzog)
  • II. Markirt und lebhaft (Kuriose Gesellschaft)
  • III. Mit gosser lebhaftigkeit (Nächtliches Gelage)
  • IV. Einfach (Rundgesang mit Solostimmen)
Schumann's Nachtstücke also has a personal touch. Schumann composed them in the aftermath of the death of his older brother Eduard. For Schumann it was a dark period, in which he said he was obsessed with death. At the same time, Schumann incorporated subtle references to a collection of short stories entitled Nachtstücke by Schumann's favourite writer E.T.A. Hoffmann.
Nox
Hannes Minnaar (piano)
  • I. Nightfall
  • II. Insomnia
  • III. L'heure bleue
  • IV. Farewell to Reinbert at Zorgvlied
  • V. Perseids passing
Rob Zuidam's Nox is an ode to the night. The composer says he is a nocturnal animal and prefers to work at night. "You have more freedom and the phone doesn't ring", he says in an interview. Four of the five movements of Nox are inspired by night experiences: nightfall, insomnia, the blue hour (the moment just before sunrise) and the Perseid meteor shower that can be seen in the sky during summer nights. The fourth part, 'Farewell to Reinbert at Zorgvlied', is an in memoriam for the conductor and composer Reinbert de Leeuw, who died in 2020.
PAUZE
Nocturne nr. 1, op. 33, nr. 1
Hannes Minnaar (piano)
Nocturne nr. 13, op. 119
Hannes Minnaar (piano)
Gaspard de la nuit
Hannes Minnaar (piano)
  • I. Ondine
  • II. Le Gibet
  • III. Scarbo
For a long time, Gaspard de la nuit was the most difficult piano piece in music history to play. But that's only an afterthought if you listen to the music. In three gripping atmospheric images, Ravel successively paints an evil water spirit, a creepy gallows and a ghostly dwarf

"Only when I really have something to say, I play it," master pianist Hannes Lover told NRC Handelsblad. At the Bösendorfer Imperial Hannes has enough to tell you, because with four breathtaking pieces he takes you along the highest peaks and deepest valleys of human existence. With Beethoven's energetic Waldsteinsonate, Hannes puts you directly in full sunlight. Contemporaries nicknamed this sonata 'Dawn'. The night takes place in Schumann's Nachtstücke. And with Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit, Hannes conjures up a dark fairytale world of water nymphs, a gallows and the tease Scarbo
