About

After releasing two recordings – the first devoted to Chopin and the second (ALPHA 277) to Ravel and Scriabin and winning First Prize at the Géza Anda Competition in 2015, which gave his career a powerful momentum, the young American pianist Andrew Tyson has conceived a new tailor-made programme of music by Domenico Scarlatti, Schubert, Mompou and Albéniz.

His programme focuses on landscapes, starting out from Federico Mompou’s piece of that name (Paisajes) and taking us on a journey elsewhere in Spain (sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, Book of Iberia by Isaac Albéniz), the Austrian countryside (where Franz Schubert composed the Sonata in A Major D664).

Reviews

“… This lovely album is likely to be over-looked in the abundance of steel-fingered virtuosos among the younger generation, but I warmly recommend it for its subtler musical delights.”

Huntley Dent – Fanfare – July/August 2021

WQXR – Best Classical Recordings of 2019

“Tyson, a 34-year old graduate of Curtis and Juilliard, paints this program of (mostly) Spanish piano music with rhythmic dynamism and resplendent tone colors. These captivating landscapes, which he describes as “landscapes of the mind as much as intimate, yet vivid depictions of Spain,” are worthy of The Prado’s walls.”

***** Coup de cœur

Jean-Charles Hoffele - Classica magazine (France) - December 2019-January 2020

"... American pianist Andrew Tyson takes no prisoners in his souped-up disc of Scarlatti, Mompou, Schubert and Albéniz - and the result is a day-glo blast of youthful excitement..." ****

Warwick Thompson - Pianist magazine - December 2019 - January 2020
