From a DG perspective, we could have declared 2007 the Beethoven year as many of our stars dedicated their talents to the composer’s works. Mikhail Pletnev’s Beethoven project even stretches into 2008 with this recording of the Fifth Piano Concerto, Emperor With this release – once again with his Russian National Orchestra under Christian Gansch – Pletnev accomplishes his marathon undertaking of recording each of Beethoven’s five piano concertos and nine symphonies The previous releases of the enigmatic Russian master’s Beethoven project have received the highest praise: “I genuinely wondered if even five stars weren’t insulting to playing of such glorious, playful penetration” wrote the reviewer in BBC Music Magazine while the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote of Pletnev’s playing: “in terms of sheer pianism there seem to be no limits.” “There’s life and surprise in every bar” wrote The Times of Pletnev’s Beethoven. It’s a statement that sums-up his approach to the music: “The most important thing for me is that the music must have an immediate emotional effect on people, not only as a masterpiece from the past. Every phrase, every moment of joy should be lived as it’s lived in our real lives,” he explains This release of the Emperor Concerto promises to be the event for all lovers of piano repertoire and of Beethoven’s works

Evgeny Kissin (piano) London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis Continuing with its series of major concerto recordings with Evgeny Kissin, EMI Classics will release the pianist’s first ever complete cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos in September this year. Kissin is partnered in these recordings by one of the master Beethovenians of our time, Sir Colin Davis, leading the London Symphony Orchestra. Recording the Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle is a momentous experience for any pianist. For generations the concertos have been the touchstone of an artist’s maturity for their stylistic bridge from the classicism of Haydn and Mozart to the first flowering of Romanticism. Although Evgeny Kissin has performed these works numerous times over the years - and even recorded some of them previously - he waited until now to find the best possible musical environment in which to make this very personal statement. Recording Producer Jay Saks, who has worked closely with Kissin since his 1990 Carnegie Hall’s debut, said of the project: “Recording the five Beethovens with Genya [Kissin] and Sir Colin was just wonderful. [It was] such beautiful playing, so musical and entirely in the character of Beethoven. It’s not strange, not quirky, it’s just astonishingly beautiful, technically proficient, musically extremely thoughtful - and profound. As a producer, I have to remember that I am present at recording sessions […] for professional reasons. It is so easy to just sit and listen and get swept away with what he’s doing. These Beethovens are remarkable.” “Kissin impressed throughout with his marvellous rich, almost chocolate-like tone. His articulation too was impeccable... The orchestra and Sir Colin were on truly wondrous form, and Kissin's pianism proved ... a marvel in its dynamism and delicacy.” MusicWeb International (on Kissin’s 2008 performance of Piano Concerto No. 3 at the Barbican, UK) “The technically brilliant Russian is often criticised for his dourly clinical playing, but his Barbican Beethoven series…displayed a playful, warmer performer, more ready to unbutton, as in the finale of the First, or in the friskiness of the Fifth” Stephen Pritchard, The Observer, 7th September 2008 |
