David Hackbridge Johnson's "The Devil's Lyre" is a captivating journey through the world of classical piano music, released on February 4, 2022, under the prestigious Steinway & Sons label. This album is a testament to Hackbridge Johnson's virtuosity and his ability to breathe new life into both well-known and lesser-explored pieces.
The album's title track, "Nocturne No. 7, Op. 405 'The Devil’s Lyre'," is a standout piece that showcases the artist's technical prowess and interpretive depth. The collection also includes a series of Nocturnes, each with its own unique character and atmosphere, from the spectral "Nocturne No. 1, Op. 166 'Notturno spettrale'" to the mysterious "Nocturne No. 2, Op. 197 'Notturno misterioso'."
In addition to the Nocturnes, the album features excerpts from "Barcarolle Elegies, Op. 160," which offer a lyrical and evocative contrast to the more dramatic pieces. The "Calligraphic Poems, Op. 224" provide a further exploration of Hackbridge Johnson's dynamic range, with movements that shift from the delicate "Allegretto" to the impassioned "Moderato appassionato."
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 8 minutes, "The Devil's Lyre" is a substantial and rewarding listen, offering a rich tapestry of sounds and emotions. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to impress with its technical brilliance and artistic sensitivity.
