The album includes Prokofiev's \"Music for Children,\" Alexei Schorr's (1970-) emotionally rich Piano Sonata No. 2, and Tchaikovsky's \"Children's Album.\n\n\n\nThe Tchaikovsky evokes the wonder of childhood and the fragility of life, while Prokofiev's \"gentle\" piece is difficult but mischievously played. The Scholl sonata is full of bold contrasts and introspective melodies, and Kožuchin's masterful artistry takes the listener on an emotional musical journey. The booklet includes portraits of Kožuhin from childhood to the present.\n\n\n\nKorczukhin, who first gained international attention when she won the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition in 2010, has now achieved international success and established herself as one of the most highly acclaimed pianists of her generation.Gramophone Magazine's Editor's Choice for the piano concertos of Grieg and Tchaikovsky (2016), Brahms' Ballades and Fantasias (2017), which won five tuning forks from Diapason Magazine, Ravel and Gershwin's piano concertos (2018), Grieg's Lyric Pieces \u0026amp; Mendelssohn's Mute Songs (2019), and many more active releases on the PENTATONE label.\n\n\n\n'This album is like a trip back in time to my childhood for me. Tchaikovsky's \"Children's Album\" was one of the pieces I performed at my first recital. This piece is like a child's journey through life: fairy tales, toys, dreams, and loss. The short story of a doll that falls ill and dies seems to express the beauty and transience of life and to sound philosophical about a person's existence. Prokofiev's energetic pieces are highly technical pieces that require the young pianist's technical development. The title \"gentle\" is rather ironic, as it encapsulates many of the characteristics typical of Prokofiev's work.Alexei Scholl's music is often autobiographical and nostalgic. Emotional swings, bold contrasts, and introspective melodies in Scholl's sonatas make this album very special. Is this album about seeing the world through the eyes of a child? Or is it the perspective of an adult who realizes that only through the eyes of a child can the world truly be seen as it should be...\" (Denis Kojuhin - from the liner notes)\n\nPENTATONE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentatone Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51431696138529,"sku":"8717306264068","price":135.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/8717306264068.jpg?v=1751196157","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-br\/products\/8717306264068","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
