As deep, rich, occasionally scary and thoroughly rewarding as any classical CD that's come our way in a long time, Inon Barnatan's solo piano album "Darknesse Visible" clings to nocturnal themes, many inspired by such writers as Edgar Allan Poe and Paul Verlaine. An Israeli pianist now living in New York, Barnatan chooses the fiendishly difficult -- Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit," for one -- but never lets his obvious technical mastery outweigh the tender beauty of the compositions, including Debussy's "Suite Bergamasque," with its famed "Claire de Lune" section. In the title piece with its shock-you-awake opening, Barnatan shines a jerky flashlight all over contemporary British composer Thomas Adès' "explosion" of a 1610 song by lutist John Dowland. It's pretty much unforgettable.
