“Towering virtuosity that triumphs over the primitive Russian technology of the mid-1970s, sending out shockwaves of electrifying pianism, apparently without the slightest effort.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2012 ***** “prospective viewers should be aware that the tape is getting on for forty years old now. The sound quality is certainly pretty reasonable...The [Beethoven] playing is crisp, forthright accenting in the left hand setting up energy and dynamism. His Chopin recital is of lighter material, Waltzes and Mazurkas, all of which are played with commitment and energy.” MusicWeb International, January 2013 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Beethoven - Piano Sonatas Volume 8
This disc presents three sonatas, No. 1, No. 23 (Appassionata"), and No. 30, performed by 2008 Grammy-winning pianist, Garrick Ohlsson. In the words of annotator Frank Cooper, “Three stages of greatness- exploratory, revolutionary, visionary- are represented here…” “The god of inspiration sprints hand in hand with Garrick Ohlsson” Classics Today on a previous volume “Ohlsson's performance of Op. 2 No. 1 is immaculate… The Appassionato has a swelling, rolling first movement which does it full justice; a rather mannered second movement… and a last movement which is emphatic rather than headlong. His Op. 109 begins altogether too hesitantly, and has a middle movement which isn't prestissimo, as marked; but a probing, finally elevated third movement.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Alexej Gorlatch plays Beethoven1st Prize Winner ARD Music Competition 2011
Alexej Gorlatch was the winner in the piano category at the 2011 ARD Music Competition. His interpretation of Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto not only convinced the high-ranking jury, but also the audience, bringing him both a first prize and the audience prize. Alexej Gorlatch was born in 1988 in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev and has lived in Germany since 1991. At the age of twelve he became a junior student at the University of the Arts in Berlin where he studied with Martin Hughes; from 2002 to 2007 he studied with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling in Hanover. After graduating from secondary school, he now continues his music studies there. In 2011 the ARD Music Competition celebrated its 60th anniversary. It took place for the first time in 1952 in Munich, where it is still put on every year by Bavarian Radio. For many artists, Munich was the springboard to their international careers. Among the prize winners, we find household names as Jessye Norman, Thomas Quasthoff, Maurice André, Sol Gabetta, the Tokyo String Quartet, Yuri Bahmet, François Leleux, the Quatuor Ébène and many others. “This recording shows off his refined and unerringly idiomatic artistry” BBC Music Magazine, June 2012 ***** “[Gorlach] is an assured musician. He plays wth commendable straightforwardness, not tempted to be different for the sake of it. His technique, as might be expected, is effortless, but his playing isn't glib. His music-making is clear-sighted and respectful...He trust the composer without ever becoming slavish or bland...As a calling card this release makes a very positive impression: these are seriously good interpretations.” International Record Review, June 2012 “These are riveting Beethoven performances from a player who with remarkable musicality demonstrates that he can play with both terrific flair and vibrancy together with palpable sensitivity. All in all this disc make for an impressive first look at a remarkably talented performer.” MusicWeb International, 13th May 2013 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
