Daniel Gottlob Türk is best known for his influential pedagogical treatise Klavierschule (1789). His 48 inventive and varied keyboard sonatas were influenced by Sonatas of other North German composers such as CPE Bach and JW Hässler. The five historical keyboards employed in this recording reflect the diversity of the instruments available in Türk’s day. The twelve sonatas encompassed in his first and second collections show how the composer’s sensitive, at times dramatic, oratorical style relates beautifully to the nuanced expressive capabilities of these instruments.

Tsalka’s releases of solo keyboard music by Türk are especially exciting to me…

…this was a first opportunity to have heard the whole of his Easy Keyboard Sonatas of 1783. Not so easy, especially as to be heard in exemplary interpretations, flexible and with subtle nuances, by Michael Tsalka on four interesting and fully described historic instruments.

Review By John Irving,British Clavichord Society,February 2013

Tsalka…displays considerable artistry in his approach to articulation and tonal shading.

All in all, these two discs offer a feast of stunning original keyboards showed off to good effect in music of great distinctiveness, stylishly performed. Hearing Türk’s music communicating with such strength makes me re-read his Klavierschule with greater confidence that here we have a theorist actually worth his salt in the real world! © British Clavichord Society

A la Türk

Claviersonaten von Daniel Gottlob Türk

Klavierpädagogen und Musikwissenschaftler kennen ihn. Für die meisten Musikliebhaber ist er aber wohl eher ein Unbekannter – der Komponist und Musiktheoretiker Daniel Gottlob Türk, Zeitgenosse von Haydn, Mozart und Beethoven. Der Pianist Michael Tsalka hat zwei Kollektionen von Sonaten auf einer Doppel-CD eingespielt. Der besondere Reiz: Fünf verschiedene Claviertypen aus Türks Zeit kommen bei der Aufnahme zum Einsatz.

Review By Klaus Meyer,Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Radio),October 2012

Michael Tsalka […] knows the oeuvre of the composer like no other, and performs the music congenially—sometimes playfully, then dreamily and pensively, and of course, with plenty of lively virtuosity. © 2012 Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Radio)
