Eldar Nebolsin (piano) Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Vasily Petrenko Franz Liszt’s two piano concertos amply display both his extraordinary pianistic ability and his originality as an influential Romantic composer. The first is a path-breaking tour de force whose four movements, played without break and thematically linked, moved Bartók to acclaim it as “the first perfect realisation of cyclic sonata form”. The second is equally brilliant but more integrated. The Totentanz (Dance of Death), perhaps inspired by an Italian fresco, is a powerful series of variations on the Medieval Dies irae chant. In 2005 Nebolsin won the First Richter International Piano Competition in Moscow and was awarded a special prize for the best performance of a Mozart piano concerto. |

Arnaldo Cohen (piano) Săo Paulo Symphony Orchestra, John Neschling “…the most impressive performance here is of the bizarre and remarkable Totentanz… Whether the work's extremes of lyrical solo reflection and collective eruptiveness can ever really be conjured into hanging together is a good question. For all that, Cohen does encompass those extremes impressively. Throughout, his Brazilian conductor-and-orchestra compatriots accompany him with colour and flair.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2008 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
