About

The new double CD of the series Artist Consort series from GENUIN, dedicated to the great pianist Sebastian Benda, comprises recordings from the years 1961 to 1994. A period of over thirty years, then, and yet the spectrum spans a much longer period of time. The musical memory of Benda, son of a famous family of musicians, friend and pupil of Frank Martin, comprises at least an entire century, perhaps even more. Thus we experience not only irreplaceable archive recordings, but also passionately felt music by Benda's contemporaries Villa-Lobos and Martin, as well as Beethoven, Schubert, and other.

A true musical monument!

Awards and reviews

7th February 2014

In the Schumann pieces, Benda is sublime, vividly characterizing each piece. The Liszt Petrarch Sonnet is imbued with dramatic intent...Benda has great affinity for the piano music of Heitor Villa-Lobos. The five piano works showcase a kaleidoscope of colour, rhythmic patterns, textures, sonorities and harmonies. There is plenty of contrast here.
