Description:

A master's style of narration. The Russian star Kozyukhin takes on the challenge of Brahms! Denis Kozyukhin, a Russian star with strong technique and rich expressive power, won the first prize at the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition in 2010 and attracted worldwide attention. In his first appearance on the PENTATONE label, he captivated listeners with his overwhelming expressiveness and presence in the Tchaikovsky and Grieg Concertos (PTC 5186566). In this highly anticipated second release, she has taken up a solo piano work by Brahms. Brahms's piano works, which adhere to the tradition of pure music in spite of their Romanticism, are especially difficult for young pianists. However, Korjuhin, armed with his unique sensibility, tackles Brahms head-on. The Theme and Variations, dedicated to Clara Schumann, is an arrangement of the second movement of the String Sextet No. 1 by Brahms himself for solo piano, and Kosyukhin's magnificent performance is impressive.In addition, the lyrical storytelling heard in the ballad and fantasy collections is breathtaking. In addition to the excellence of the performances, you can enjoy the superb, high-quality, multichannel-compatible sound recordings recorded by the PENTATONE label's renowned technical team, using DSD recording technology.
