The popular Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series continues with Les Adieux (The Farewell), a very special digital release from pianist Joseph Havlat. A former student of the Academy, receiving awards for exceptional merit in studentship and the highest possible recital mark for a postgraduate pianist, Joseph Havlat is a fast-rising pianist and composer, having performed in major concert venues around the UK, Europe, America, Japan and Australia. For this album on Linn, he has chosen to present a selection of music he loves and regularly plays. Both a homage and a remembrance, the core of this album is folk music, of a melodic kind from Janáček and a rhythmic kind from Martinů. Bookending the narrative are works by Kurtág and Havlat himself, acting as prologue and epilogue.

Joseph Havlat, Piano

Everything that Havlat touches sings out with gorgeously shaded and tastefully proportioned melodic projection.

Jed Distler

The sensitivity and cultivation Havlat brings as a collaborative pianist shine on this well-curated solo release, weaving Janáček, Martinů, and Prokofiev into a deeply expressive programme.
