Konstantin Lifschitz (piano)

For the first time complete on a modern concert grand the Musical Offering that Bach presented to King Frederick the Great of Prussia, together with three toccatas by Frescobaldi, a composer highly regarded by Bach and whose keyboard style is as genuinely pianistic as that of Chopin and Scriabin. In 1994, Russian pianist Konstantin Lifschitz burst onto the international scene with a recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. The CD received a Grammy nomination and was praised as the most convincing Bach interpretation since Glenn Gould. Today, at 31, Lifschitz is celebrated for his musical sensibility and nuanced playing.

"Not since Glenn Gould's debut recordings has a young pianist tackled this challenging work with similar executional ease and unbridled joy. What marvelous music-making, and to think the pianist was sixteen when he recorded this!" Jed Distler, Amazon.com [Goldbergs]

“A peculiarity among the brothers is that they look almost entirely dissimilar. But looks aren't everything: they sounded like brothers, in that their playing had the kind of bracing empathy of ideas and feelings that characterizes all great chamber ensembles.” The New York Times
