Nonesuch releases the label debut from acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk, Ligeti/Beethoven. The solo recording features Ligeti's "Piano Études," Books One and Two, which Denk memorably performed in a series of recitals in 2011. The New York Times said his reading of the works left "audience members grasping for superlatives at intermission." the sets of "Études," six from Book One and seven from Book Two, bookend Denk's recording of Beethoven's "Sonata No. 32" in C Minor, Op. 111, on the album. The Times said of Denk's 2010 Mostly Mozart Festival performance of the work: "This account, alive to every suggestion and nuance in the score, was an absolute joy to witness. Mr. Denk, clearly, is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs, in whatever combination-both for his penetrating intellectual engagement with the music and for the generosity of his playing."
