Piano Recital: Wang, Angel Stanislav - LISZT, F. / GRANADOS, E. / VEGA, L. / SHOSTAKOVICH, D.: Piano Quintet (Bretón String Quartet)
Angel Stanislav Wang, winner of the 63rd Jaén Prize International Piano Competition in 2022, presents his Naxos debut recital with a selection of works he performed during the competition. Liszt’s
Piano Sonata in B minor is an undisputed masterpiece of the Romantic era, while Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet in G minor is one of the most intense and eloquent chamber works of the 20th century.
Spanish music is always present at Jaén and is represented here by a selection from Granados’s Goyescas, and by Laura Vega’s competition commission Poema a un amor eterno – a work of intense
emotion, calling upon the pianist to be more of a poet or rhapsodist than a virtuoso.
