BBC Music Magazine. Beethoven’s Tempest Sonata is the composer’s most personal musical mirror of his impassioned Heiligenstadt testament in which he expresses the agony of failing hearing. It is contrasted with the opening calm of Chopin’s Ballade No.2, Debussy’s Estampes and both love and virtuosity from Abbé Liszt. Nicholas Walker studied in Moscow and recently gave two highly acclaimed Wigmore Hall recitals of music by Balakirev.
