Fans around the world are rooting for him! This album was recorded in 2012 and marks his fourth release on the ONDINE label. It features Shostakovich’s late work, “Suite on Poems by Michelangelo,” and Liszt’s “Three Songs on Petrarchan Sonnets.” Shostakovich’s art songs are known for their profound and enigmatic atmosphere, characterized by a minimalist sound—including the accompaniment—that creates a sense of mystery. Furthermore, since Liszt’s “Songs on Petrarch’s Sonnets” underwent numerous revisions by the composer himself, several different versions—including a solo piano version—exist; however, since Khorostovsky sings the first draft, his performance differs slightly from what listeners are accustomed to. Both works are known as masterpieces with profound content that convey various themes such as death, life, and resignation, and Holostovsky delivers a flawless performance of both.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ondine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595401060641,"sku":"4562240279920","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4562240279920.jpg?v=1790480987","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4562240279920","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
