BEETHOVEN Sonata Op.90 BRAHMS Sonata Op.5 Ashley Wass (piano) The BBC Radio 3 Lunch Time Concert, Wigmore Hall, 22 January 2001 Playing without music, Ashley Wass showed that he has developed into a mature, thoughtful 'musicians' pianist'. He judged the Wigmore Hall acoustics perfectly in his dynamic range, pedalling clarity and beautiful tone quality. Wass gave an impression that having assimilated the scores completely, he was thinking and feeling these two sonatas whilst performing them. It made for a fulfilling hour's music, with a palpable silence from his listeners in the hall contributing to what will have been a memorable broadcast at home, as balanced from the BBC's five microphones. The E minor sonata of Beethoven (1814) is one of those smaller, concentrated middle period works (this one in two contrasted movements) which are more often encountered in complete cycles than chosen on their own. Its first movement requires meaningful juxtapositions of extreme contrasts; the second a relaxed melodic rondo which is Schubertian in feeling, both perfectly realised here. That was a perfect preparation for tackling the Everest of the young Brahms' huge five movement F minor sonata of 1853, his largest solo keyboard composition. The

Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Music Webmaster Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net FRANCK Piano Works Ashley Wass Naxos Laureate Series 8.554484 [76 mins.] Crotchet Amazon UK Amazon USA Ashley Wass was the first British winner of the triennial World Piano Competition (London 1997) and he has chosen Cesar Franck 's piano music for his debut CD. The early glogue Op 3 and Caprice Op 5 (both are rarely played pieces from 1843) date from his period as a virtuoso pianist, which was however not greatly successful. From 1870, he devoted himself to composition and returned to writing for the piano in his last years. Here we have his major works for the piano from the 1880s, both of which reflect his career as an organist in their texture and general style. The Pr and Pr are important works, which maintain a tenuous place in the repertoire, though they are heard less often nowadays. Wass gives fluent accounts of both, and his choice is auspicious in its avoidance of more popular and over-recorded music. His playing is fluent and preserves a beautiful tone, reinforcing my good impression upon hearing him live at a recital in the prestigious Wallace Collection recital series. It is well worth acquiring. Wass shows himself here as a serious minded pianist, who has much to offer. His future will be watched with interest, as will that of the Finnish pianist Antti Siirala, the controversial winner of the recent 2000 competition who had, uniquely, emerged as a last minute substitute, having not been selected as a finalist! A Naxos CD is anticipated in due course.

Diapason commented: "No less remarkable is the way that he delivers the Prelude, Aria et Final with great precision and taste and always with a sense of dynamics and articulation that is reminiscent of old masters such as Bolet and Ciccolini. The quality and height of inspiration of his playing makes this disc a revelation."
