This video...certainly reveals Primarov as a serious artist with fabulous pianistic skills. His tone quality is velvety, his phrasing unfailingly sensitive...when Primakov loses himself in the music and lets rip, the effect is marvellous: the Chopin Ballades are full of tenderness and elation

October 2010

Primakov is a master of keyboard colour and he is in his element here throughout, with the ternary structures of each of the Brahms Intermezzos enabling him to find real contrast of mood, aided by a natural rubato and flexibility of pulse...he is a match for any in his tonal finesse, musical maturity and effortless technical prowess
