Description
This first FHR release from US pianist Evan Mitchell features five works written by composers early in their careers. In music that bursts with inspiration, the promise and possibility of youth are on full display. Three of the composers on this album - Samuel Barber, Alban Berg, and Elliott Carter - went on to lead full lives, and these works grant us an early preview of their genius. The other twocomposers heard here each only lived to age 25: Vitezslava Kapralova succumbed to an illness and Gideon Klein perished at Auschwitz. Their light exists in wondrous, if only partly realised, musical legacies.
