Our Take

Ferruccio Busoni: The 6 Sonatinas is a wild and unpredictable ride through the mind of one of classical music's most enigmatic figures. Victor Nicoara has crafted a daring and eccentric album that pushes the boundaries of traditional sonata form.

From the opening notes of Sonatina No. 1, Nicoara grabs the listener by the ears and doesn't let go. His virtuosic piano playing is on full display, as he navigates Busoni's intricate compositions with remarkable dexterity and flair.

Each sonatina on the album is a mini-masterpiece in its own right, showcasing Busoni's unique blend of romanticism and modernism. Nicoara's interpretation is refreshingly bold, injecting new life into these lesser-known gems of the classical repertoire.

Standout tracks include Sonatina No. 4, with its melancholic melodies and thunderous climaxes, and Sonatina No. 6, a frenetic whirlwind of notes that leaves the listener breathless.

Overall, Ferruccio Busoni: The 6 Sonatinas is a must-listen for fans of classical piano music looking for something off the beaten path. Victor Nicoara's fearless approach to these challenging pieces is sure to leave a lasting impression on even the most jaded of listeners. So grab your top hat and monocle, and prepare to be dazzled by this musical tour de force. Pitchfork rating: 8.6.
