The new release from the young master, Igor Levit, features four monumental works spanning nearly two centuries from 1720 to 1910, spread across two discs. For Levit, these works "often possess an incredible expansiveness despite their intimacy. They are not only emotional but also instrumental." The starting point for these four works is the music of J.S. Bach, whom Levit sees as symbolizing "maximum freedom and imagination, along with great rigor." Levit selected Bach's masterful "Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue" in D minor, and combined it with Liszt's "Sonata in B minor," which looked far into the future at the time of its composition, Busoni's "Fantasia contrappuntistica," which carries on Bach's tradition, and Berg's only piano sonata. These are complemented by four short pieces that Levit describes as "lead-ins that feel intuitively right"--a piano arrangement by Siloti of the famous aria from Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3, Liszt's transcription of Schubert's song "Der Doppelgänger," Busoni's "Weihnachten," and Berg's early piano piece in B minor.
