This first recording for Piano Classics by Lukas Geniusas presents two 19th c. masterworks, sonatas of extraordinary length, scope and content. Brahms’ First Piano Sonata op. 1 (“a veiled symphony” according to Schumann) is a young man’s answer to Beethoven’s colossal ‘Hammerklavier’, a work of unprecedented impact which radically changed the concept of the sonata in the 19th c. The 24 year old Lukas Geniušas concertizes all around the world, playing his extraordinary programs, which sometimes feature performances of Chopin’s 24 Etudes and Rachmaninov’s 24 Preludes.
