This album, 'Perspectives 7', is the latest in Andreas Haefliger's series of recordings that each take a Beethoven sonata as their starting point.
Interpretation
Andreas Haefliger was barely influenced by Maurice Ravel's famous orchestral version of Pictures from an Exhibition, borrowing only one detail: the whip stroke in 'Gnomus'.
Interpretation
Haefliger finds that the 'Promenades' in Mussorgsky's Pictures from an Exhibition are almost more fascinating than the individual pictures, as they portray Mussorgsky himself.
Interpretation
Pianist Andreas Haefliger emphasizes that his approach to combining works in his 'Perspectives' series is based on intuition rather than intellectualization.
Interpretation
Andreas Haefliger's program for this album started with Beethoven's Sonata No. 28, Op. 101, which he views as consisting of visual impressions.
