Recently heard on Live from WFMT, Canadian pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko is the first prize laureate of the 2024 Concours musical international de Montréal and the winner of the 2024 Leeds International Piano Competition. Recorded in the months between the International First Round and the Concerto Finals of the Leeds Competition, Izik-Dzurko presents 13 sonatas by Antonio Soler, a Spanish composer who bridges the stylistic gap between the late baroque and early Classicism. Soler’s innovations have often been overlooked but the intricate modulations and rhythmic vitality found in his sonatas offer compelling evidence of their importance. Sonatas Nos. 99–111 offer a wealth of entrancing features, among them sophisticated ornamentation, a synthesis of contrapuntal and Iberian folkloric traditions, and humorous cadences.
