Andrew Rangell - Piano

• Andrew Rangell's latest recording presents four sonatas composed by Beethoven at the end of the 18th century.

• The three Op. 10 sonatas and the ever-popular “Pathetique” feature Beethoven's newly-found concision and economy of expression, combined with even greater humour and wit than was apparent in the master's earlier sonatas.

• Pianist Andrew Rangell has an extensive discography on Bridge, including a Beethoven recital (BRIDGE 9181), as well as recordings by a wide spectrum of composers including last month’s recording of Charles Ives, Carl Nielsen and John McDonald. After a recording of sonatas by Halffter, Enescu, Stravinsky and Janácek International Record Review called him: “a free-thinker among pianists” and on his consistently provocative playing and interesting ideas said “we can hardly keep ourselves from appreciating them.”
