On his third PENTATONE album Time Traveler's Suite, pianist Inon Barnatan redefines our notions of the suite by taking us on a journey through time and space, from Baroque pieces by Bach, Handel, Rameau and Couperin to more recent works by Ravel, Barber, Adès and Ligeti.
The program culminates in Brahms's ingenious Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel.
Inon Barnatan is one of the most admired pianists of his generation (New York Times). His complete recordings of Beethoven's piano concertos together with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Alan Gilbert were released on PENTATONE in 2019 and 2020.
This album was recorded at The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla, CA, in August 2020
