Alexander Hazelbank - Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata

 

Piano works from Beethoven’s late period. The monumental Hammerklavier sonata alongside the Bagatelles Op. 126, short pieces which were the final ones Beethoven composed.

In 2017 he received the Allen Scholarship Award for piano performance, and in 2019 produced the debut recording of contemporary piano études by Kate Reid. Alex was a finalist in the 2021 Great Romantics Piano Competition, and the Organ Scholar at All Saints Anglican Church, East St Kilda, studying J.S. Bach with John O’Donnell.
