************************************************ IN GERMAN LANGUAGE: ...........
Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major op. 53 ("Waldstein")
Igor Stravinsky - Three Movements from "Petrushka"
Hyperion Knight - Klavier
Obwohl satte hundertzehn Jahre zwischen Beethovens „Waldstein“-Sonate und Strawinskys Klavierfassung seines Ballets „Petrouschka“ liegen, so spricht doch der gleiche stürmerische, revolutionäre und überschäumende Geist aus beiden, und man braucht schon einen Pianisten von besonderer Energie, um diese beiden Werke auf einer LP so durchgängig stark und doch abwechslungsreich zu präsentieren. Der Mann mit dem klangvollen Namen Hyperion Knight, eher ein Insider-Tipp der amerikanischen Klassik-Szene, war 1983 mit Mitte Zwanzig genau der Richtige für diese brillante und kraftvolle Aufnahme. Stark auch die nahe und doch nicht zu aufdringliche Mikrofonierung des Flügels, der durch sehr kraftvolle Bässe und rhythmisch stark akzentuierende Höhen besticht.
*********************************************************************************************
[Text: kopiert von Sieveking Sound]
Der Pianist Hyperion Knight wurde in der Bucht von San Francisco geboren und wuchs dort auf. Mit 14 Jahren debütierte er in San Rafael, Kalifornien, mit Beethovens viertem Klavierkonzert. Knight erwarb seinen Bachelor of Music am San Francisco Conservatory of Music, seinen Master of Arts am Cleveland Institute of Music. Mit 22 Jahren promovierte er mit einer Dissertation über Beethovens Klaviersonate "Waldstein". 1983 wurde er zum Solopianisten des Erie Philharmonic Orchestra ernannt.
Für diese Aufnahme wurde ein speziell angefertigter Konzertflügel verwendet. Dieses einzigartige Instrument, gebaut von Sheldon Smith in seiner Werkstatt in Berkeley, Kalifornien, wo auch die Aufnahme stattfand, hat ein kräftiges tiefes Register, das ein substantielles Fundament für die linke Hand bietet. Die oberen Register sind etwas weniger gedämpft als üblicherweise. Für einen harmonischen, vollen und präzisen Klang wurden für die Aufnahme kugelförmige Kondensatormikrofone von Schoeps in Verbindung mit Vakuumröhrenverstärkern verwendet....................................................
