Elisa Medinilla, Jan Michiels, Barbara Baltussen

We’re in the 21st century now, so why would you still be writing a piano sonata? For Frank Nuyts, that question seems irrelevant. A better one is why write one piano sonata when you can simply write 24 of them? With his 24 sonatas, Frank Nuyts has added a chapter to the piano repertoire that is as inventive as it is dazzling (and voluminous). To give you an appropriate picture of Nuyts’ effervescent musical crea- tivity, we present three sonatas, each played by the pianist for whom it was written: Elisa Medinilla, Jan Michiels and Barbara Baltussen. Three pianists, three sonatas (and a multiplicity of musical ideas) for the price of a single concert.
