Beethoven Eroica

More and more young German pianist Forian Glemser is establishing himself in concert life. Invitations to piano recitals and appearances with orchestras took him to almost all renowned concert halls in Germany, including Konzerthaus Berlin, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Herkulessaal Munich, and others, as well as in other European countries in halls such as Wigmore Hall in London, Stefaniensaal in Graz, and the Brucknerhaus in Linz. For his debut with OehmsClassics, he wanted a pure Beethoven program that can hardly be more demanding. He has included the Eroica-Variationen Op. 35, the Sonate No. 30 Op. 109, and Sechs Bagatellen Op. 126- an impressive program for any career, much less that of such a young performer.

Jenő Jandó essays the same strong, direct style in his performances of the two major sets of variations as he does in the sonatas…no one could deny the strength of his playing. His approach is appropriately lighter in Op. 34. Excellent recording, clear and vivid.

…Summarising, the team of Järvi and his talented young chamber orchestra players evoke Beethoven's wilful and often irascible (but lovable) polemics and character like few before them. The Eroica is fully charged and brilliantly executed. It joins the ranks of élite performances, together with an 8th Symphony whose real stature is newly revealed and celebrated. The Polyhymnia International engineers provide an immediate and fully transparent recording, with a measured amount of ambience, despite two locations being involved.
