  • Description

    Daniel-Ben Pienaar presents "The Long17th Century: A Cornucopia of Early Keyboard Music", a two-and-a-half hour survey of 36 works, each by a different composer, many not recorded before on a modern piano.

    The ever-inquisitive pianist Daniel-Ben Pienaar presents The Long 17th Century: A Cornucopia of Early Keyboard Music. The Long 17th Century refers to the period from the late 1500s to the early 1700s, an era noted for forward-thinking individuality and invention in all areas of life. This two-and-a-half hour recital surveys a pan-European variety of styles, genres and techniques, and comprises 36 works, each by a different composer, many not recorded before on a modern piano.

    CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR DANIEL-BEN PIENAAR "a gloriously multi-faceted opus maximus … Amazing and very much worth hearing" – Der Spiegel (on Beethoven's Complete Piano Sonatas, AV2320)

    "dizzying virtuosity … fresh, spontaneous, original readings that shed new light on the keyboard player's Bible" – BBC Music Magazine (on J. S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, AV2299)

    "One of the most completely satisfying surveys ever committed to disc." – The Sunday Times (on Mozart's Complete Piano Sonatas, AV2209)
