Extractions: Although a long term UK resident, his compositional influences are transatlantic. He comments: "I have lived in Britain since 1974 but my musical heroes remain American: I admire Charles Ives's unapologetic juxtaposition of vernacular music and the avant-garde, Henry Cowell's irreverent use of fist and arm clusters, the propulsive energy of minimalism and John Cage's radical dictum that 'all sound is music’”. As a "virtuoso pianist" [New York Times] he has recorded for all the major European radio networks, performed at Carnegie Hall, London's Queen Elizabeth Hall and Paris's Centre Pompidou. In 1985 he formed a duo with pianist Philip Mead, Montague/Mead Piano Plus which tours internationally. He also collaborates with the sculptor, Maurice Agis, providing multi-channel electroacoustic sound environments for his giant inflatable sculptures, Colourspace and Dreamspace Montague has recently had Composer Portrait Compact discs of his works are available on ASV (UK), Continuum (NZ), Centaur (USA), Point Records (USA) and others. In addition to music he is an active cyclist and tennis player (the former Florida Junior College Tennis Champion).

Yes, Iâve been binging on Beethoven, adding new CDs of his music at an almost alarming rate. But the local CD hut had a sale on EMI and, well, I just couldnât pass it up. Iâm not a newcomer to Mr Kovacevichâs EMI Beethoven: Iâve had the Op 10 and 28 and Op 31 discs for a number of years, and some fine things are to be heard in those two discs. The Op 31 sonatas seem more in tune with this pianistâs style, but even the Op 10 sound nice, except for a somewhat unfortunate opening to the first sonata. He even manages to pull off a good Pastorale . Surely his complete cycle warrants a listen. So I endeavored to do just that. Relentless. Thatâs the best way to describe the opening of the first sonata. Kovacevich opens (too) fast and (too) hard and plays the entire first movement that way, with little (or nothing, really) in the way of color, variety, or fun. This isnât even serious playing; this is borderline fierce, angry playing. No one opens as harshly as does this Angelino. The second movement offers more of the same, and itâs not until the third movement that Kovacevich arrives at something more akin to how almost all others play early Beethoven. The finale is fierce but not as strong â or strongly characterized â as some others. The piano tone fortunately never sounds ugly, and Kovacevich never merely bangs away at the keyboard, but he comes uncomfortably close a few times. Kovacevich manages to make both Annie Fischer and Friedrich Gulda sound downright light-hearted and jolly. I must say, this is something of a disappointment.
