Catalogue Number: Hyperion CDA68233

Pianists from the land of the Maple Leaf feature prominently at the moment with both Jan Lisiecki and Stewart Goodyear releasing Beethoven piano concerto sets and Angel Hewitt working her way through the sonatas and re-recording the Bach partitas. And that other Canadian maestro Marc-André Hamelin continues his deep dive for Hyperion into the works of neglected composers, turning his attention to the Odessa-born Soviet musician Samuil Feinberg (1890-1962) and six of his 12 piano sonatas.
