Description
Andrey Gugnin presents a wonderful all-Grieg recital, the elegant neo-classicism of 'From Holberg's time' (a rare and welcome opportunity to hear the original version for solo piano) contrasting with the brooding magnificence of the 'Ballade'.
Two complete sets of 'Lyric Pieces'—those most perfect of piano miniature are also included.
"Russian pianist Andrey Gugnin's fluid and highly articulate touch brings out all of the finer details" – Classical Music Sentinel
"Gugnin ripples his way through the Holberg Suite in its original piano solo guise, radiating poise, affection and respect for its Golden Age retrospection." – Gramophone
"A well-placed collection of multifaceted jewels" – BBC Music Magazine *****
"His Lyric Pieces are perfectly detailed little pictures without a bit of sentiment. Gugnin plays a Bechstein piano, an inspired choice for his small, subtle readings, with no wash of Steinway sound." – AllMusic
