Pianist Andreas Haefliger has taken to making studio recordings of his concert programmes, in the belief that listening to music at home should ideally replicate the experience of hearing it live. That's why this recital spills on to two CDs, giving you a chance to change discs at the point where the interval would fall in the concert hall. Haefliger's fondness for radical programming is apparent in the first half, in which he flanks Bartok's underrated Out of Doors with two of Beethoven's tersest sonatas.

He plays the three works in an unbroken span, so that the Bartok erupts implacably out of the end of one of Beethoven's darker utterances, then subsides into the reflective calm of the E minor Sonata. A towering performance of Brahms's massive F minor Sonata comes after the necessary break, and sounds as revolutionary as everything that has gone before. Quirky, tremendous and highly recommended.
