Stephen Kovacevich records exclusively for EMI Classics and is currently recording the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas. His release of the Beethoven Op.31 sonatas prompted Robert Layton to write "Even if you have other versions of these sonatas get this disc, for I believe that if the series continues as it has begun, the Kovacevich cycle will occupy a standing not far short of that enjoyed by Schnabel in the heyday of 78s or Kempff in the early days of LP." Syrinx and the Prokofiev Sonata. Although strongly associated with the Classical masters, Stephen Kovacevich has commissioned, with the support of the Arts Council of England, a solo piano work Southern Lament by fellow American, Stephen Montague, which received its world premiere at the 1997 Cheltenham International Music Festival.

Stephen Kovacevich, Piano The Classical source 'The blinkered spirits who thought the composer of the Hammerklavier mad were themselves deluded; but a touch of madness in the works' performance helps, as this disciplined but ferocious, at times profoundly tender, account shows. Kovacevich's playing gives the paradoxical impression of rigorous control that it might lose at any moment. It combines tremendous rhythmic thrust, wildness and the stillness of the eye of the storm, and also a nice sense of the quirkiness writ large of which the Op 119 Bagatelles, included here, are a miniature but characteristic example. The disc is rounded off by a dazzlingly eloquent performance of the Les Adieux sonata'.

STEPHEN MONTAGUE Stephen Montague (b. Syracuse, New York, 1943) grew up in West Virginia and Florida. He studied piano, conducting and composition at Florida State University, received a doctorate from Ohio State University (1972) and won a Fulbright Fellowship to work in Warsaw, Poland, 1972-74. From Poland he came to England first as a musician with Strider Dance Co. (Richard Alston and co.), but since 1975 has worked as a freelance composer based in London but touring world-wide. His music has been widely performed, featuring in numerous international festivals including the BBC Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, the Warsaw Autumn Festival, Paris Festival d'automne, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Kennedy Center (Washington DC). Major commissions have included a piano concerto for the BBC Proms, the Hilliard Ensemble, pianist Stephen Kovacevich, the International Computer Music Asociation, and a 35 minute work for narrator and orchestra for the BT Celebration Series premiered by the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Centre, London, with a further 14 performances by other leading British orchestras around the country. Although a long-term UK resident, his compositional influences are transatlantic. He comments: "I have lived in Britain since 1974 but my musical heroes remain American: I admire Charles Ives's unapologetic juxtaposition of vernacular music and the avant-garde, Henry Cowell's irreverent use of fist and arm clusters, the propulsive energy of minimalism and John Cage's radical dictum the 'all sound is music'".
