This album brings together piano sonatas by Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Schumann that reflect a specifically German approach to the form, distinct from the Viennese Classical tradition.
Pianist Tianxu An explores works composed within a 26-year span, a period in which composers redefined the sonata through structural experimentation and greater performative expression.
Central to the recording is a focus on the composers’ detailed markings, including dynamics, pedalling and phrasing and how these shape interpretation in performance.
Recorded in 2024, the release presents An’s considered engagement with this repertoire and his interest in its intellectual rigour and expressive breadth.
Hailing from Baoding, China, pianist Tianxu An (born 1999) has rapidly emerged as a distinguished voice of his generation on the global stage. His international breakthrough arrived in 2019 at the XVI International Tchaikovsky Competition, where he was awarded Fourth Prize and a special prize for ‘courage and restraint’. This achievement, the highest for a Chinese pianist at the competition in 24 years, immediately propelled him to worldwide attention and led to a critically acclaimed debut with The Philadelphia Orchestra that July.
