Joseph Tong (piano)About
“There was also a particularly happy coincidence in that I was able to work with the Finnish-Estonian recording producer Enno Mäemets. To explain the significance of this, the first CD recording of Sibelius piano music I ever heard, and which made such a lasting impact on me, was by the Japanese pianist Izumi Tateno and recorded at the composer’s home, Ainola. I later discovered that this recording had been produced by Enno himself!
“I could hardly have envisaged that things would come together in such a serendipitous way when I had the initial idea of making a recording at the Sibelius Museum after giving a concert there in 2019.
“The selection of music on this album could form the basis for a concert programme and I wanted to combine a variety of styles from different creative periods of the composer’s life. My repertoire choices include some of Sibelius’s early works which are less well-known yet melodically captivating in themselves, the famous set of Six Impromptus, op.5, a lighter collection of ‘8 Petits Morceaux’, op.99, and finishing with the 10 Pieces, op.58, written in 1909 and arguably one of his greatest sets of piano pieces.”
