A former child prodigy who had already made his concerto debut by the age of 10, Russian pianist Evgeny Kissin is one of today’s most celebrated musicians. The maestro is particularly renowned for his interpretation of the Romantic literature, and in this fantastic compilation we are treated to some of his finest recordings within the genre – recordings which, spanning three CDs, centre around two giants of the piano world, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt. The survey begins with a live performance of Chopin’s two piano concertos, taken from the legendary 1984 Moscow concert that catapulted the 12-year-old genius to international fame. We then move on to some of the Polish composer’s best-loved and most demanding repertoire for solo piano; as well as featuring a selection of dance miniatures in the form of mazurkas and waltzes, the set also presents three affecting nocturnes, not to mention Chopin’s final piano sonata – a lengthy work whose performance lasts over 25 minutes – and the magnificent Fantaisie in F minor Op.49. Running the full gamut of emotions, from exuberance to extreme sorrow, Kissin’s recital draws to a spectacular close with a series of show-stopping numbers by Liszt – including the highly popular Liebestraum No.3 in A flat and the fiercely virtuosic Rhapsodie Espagnole. There’s everything to delight the Romantic connoisseur and piano aficionado alike in this superb collection, full of style and based on a series of recordings that capture the early Kissin in his teenage years. “Forget maturiy, art at this level renders the concept irrelevant. Kissin in his teens was more 'mature' than innumerable lesser artists of 65. Refined, subtle, powerful, pianistically stunning.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2012 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

It’s hard to believe that Martha Argerich is now approaching her 70th birthday – on 5 June this year. She has been recording for Deutsche Grammophon for 50 years, and has made some of the greatest recordings on the label, now fully documented on The Martha Argerich Collection capboxes (Solo Recordings, Concerto Recording, Chamber Ensemble Recordings). Three generously filled CDs (nearly 240 minutes of music) portray the incredible virtuosity, style and range of this incomparable artist. We follow her solo and concerto career that is gradually subsumed in recordings with musical partners like Nelson Freire, Stephen Kovacevich, Mischa Maisky and Gidon Kremer – Argerich’s five decades of recording with DG and Philips (Decca) are surveyed in a magnificent chronological sweep. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
