About
As Clare Hammond writes in the liner notes to her thought-provoking selection of piano études, the genre, at its best, ‘combines the visceral excitement of technical display with expressive, coloristic and compositional ingenuity’.

The Times Records of the Year2018
18th January 2015
The young British pianist Clare Hammond is fast building a reputation as a stylish interpreter of the new or less familiar... The real interest is the set of six Etudes by Unsuk Chin (b.1961), witty, angular, pointillistic, and the Five Etudes in Different Intervals, punchy and jazzy, by Nikolai Kapustin (b.1937). Hammond brings precision and clarity to all.
Classical Music
A remarkably well-chosen selection of etudes that is the very definition of bravura over barnstorming
