Many of his most important works date from the first half of his career. The expressive immediacy of his music, conditioned by his Armenian heritage with it's sensuous melodic writing, it's vibrant orchestration and rhythmic drive - all resulted in a popularity equalled by few composers of his generation. Although he is primarily associated with large orchestral scores - including the ballets Gayaneh and Spartacus, perennial favourites with concert audiences - he also left a number of works for piano solo. For his debut disc, the Jordanian-Palestinian pianist Iyad Sughayer has put together a recital spanning from the ample and demanding Sonata to the delightful Children's Album, consisting of ten miniatures, in turn playful and poignant. The recital closes with a piece which did a great deal to establish Khachaturian's name near the outset of his international career. Composed in 1932 (allegedly in a single evening), the Toccata in E flat minor soon established itself among the showpieces of the modern repertoire and was to become a calling-card for aspiring virtuosi. Iyad Sughayer was born in 1993 in Amman, where he received his early training. At the age of 13, Iyad moved from Jordan to study at the Chetham's School of Music in Manchester, UK.Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
