CD Releases and Launch of “Honens Sessions Live” digital series by Canada’s Honens International Piano Competition
8 August 2011
Honens International Piano Competition has added four discs to its catalogue of studio Laureate recordings – the Honens Laureate Series – and has introduced a new live-performance digital series named Honens Sessions Live.
The release of these recordings coincided with the birthday of Andrew Raeburn, Artistic Director of Honens International Piano Competition from 1993 to 2004. Raeburn passed away last summer at age 77. Minsoo Sohn’s Goldberg Variations was the last recording Raeburn produced after a long career as musician, arts administrator and
record producer. Sohn’s disc is dedicated to him.
With Sohn’s CD, Honens and The Banff Centre expand their commitment to past Laureates of the Honens Competition by recording and releasing their projects beyond the three-year Artistic & Career Development Program.
Honens Laureate Series recordings are available in CD format from honens.com and for digital download from all major online music retailers. All recordings, made at Canada’s Banff Centre, were made possible through the Honens Competition’s Artistic & Career Development Program with support and guidance from The Banff Centre’s Music & Sound Program.
