Solo:Charles Owen piano
About
Steinway ambassador, Guildhall professor and co-founder of the London Piano Festival, Charles Owen turns to the late piano works by Johannes Brahms for his latest AVIE release. Within this collection of Capriccios, Rhapsodies and Intermezzi, Charles reveals myriad moods with the composer harking back as well as facing forward – from evocations of Schubert, Schumann and Liszt in the Eight Klavierstücke, Op. 76; winter-like darkness in the two Op. 79 Rhapsodies; Hungarian foot-stomping dance forms in the seven Fantasies that comprise Op. 116; nostalgic contemplation in the Op. 117 Intermezzi; romantic inflections in the Op. 118 Klavierstücke which were dedicated to Clara Schumann; and the tonally forward Klavierstücke, Op. 119.

Reviews
"Charles Owen offers a penetrating insight into Brahm's late piano music, caught in gloriously burnished sound... Fully supported by Avie's splendid recording, Brahms' piano music glows. Owen performs miracles of textural lucidity, his tempos perfectly judged; but his highest achievement is to make the listener forget there is a middleman. It is almost as if Brahms speaks directly to us..." *****
Colin Clarke - International Piano magazine - March/April 2019
"... Charles Owen undertakes a technically assured survey ... His scrupulous and unfailingly musical approach is exemplified by contained accounts of the Op. 79 Rhapsodies ..." ***
Colin Anderson – Pianist magazine - February-March 2019

Performance ***** Recording *****
"... "... Owen's tone carries an admirable sense of hushed drama ... What stays in the memory after listening to Owens is the imagination and warmth of his playing, perfectly captured by the recording engineers."
