Piano Masterworks From America & New Zealand
This CD shows Hecht at his powerful and poetic best in three great mid-20th century works for solo piano. The two major American piano sonatas, by Samuel Barber and Aaron Copland, sandwich a rarely heard New Zealand gem, Douglas Lilburn's Chaconne, of 1946, considered by Hecht an ignored masterpiece, and available here on CD for the first time.
"Hecht possesses a rich artistic spirit and highly developed technique… a velvety way with sonorities, seamless
phrasing and expert pianistic skill."
