| | Lowell Liebermann Première (+ Liszt, Schubert, Read Thomas, Hough, Wild), James Giles (piano), Wigmore Hall, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | There is no question, however, that Lowell Liebermann’s Sonata No.3 op.82 is of a very different magnitude to the other new works played in this recital. |
 | | Liebermann’s largest solo piano work to date, and his first piano sonata for 20 years, it has all the typical elements of lyrical brilliance and formidable virtuosity which were hallmarks of his two, incandescent piano concertos (recorded by Stephen Hough for Hyperion). |
 | | This is no better illustrated than in the middle part of this section with its low bass chords and high ringing, right-hand notes hit with penetrating (and piercing) force. |
