The Beethoven Connection
Pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet likens Beethoven’s music to a high Himalayan mountain – it may be the highest peak, but it is still surrounded by other impressive mountains. This album, therefore, contextualizes Beethoven’s music by focusing on four of his acclaimed contemporaries, all of whom knew Beethoven well: Joseph Wölfl, Muzio Clementi, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and Jan Ladislav Dussek.
