“Technically flawless, Kozhukhin combines wisely the brilliance and power of his playing with a masterful sense of form, maturity, and a very unique sensitivity.”
Exuberant high spirits, pulsating rhythms and breathless virtuosity jostle with urbane sophistication and deeply felt sentiment in these scintillating jazz-inspired concertos by Maurice Ravel and George Gershwin, played with élan by Denis Kozhukhin and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under Kazuki Yamada in this release from PENTATONE.

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) not only enriched the piano repertoire with his colourful and lyrical music, but simultaneously captured the Norwegian landscape, folk tales and fantasy creatures in sounds, putting his fatherland on the cultural and musical map. This album features some of Grieg’s most cherished Lyrical Pieces alongside his popular Piano Concerto. They are performed by star pianist Denis Kozhukhin, who is accompanied by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under the baton of Vassily Sinaisky.

The Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg and its Music Director Gustavo Gimeno present a composer portrait of César Franck. The album features the famous Symphony in D Minor, as well as the lesser known, but equally enchanting Symphonic Variations for piano and orchestra, with Denis Kozhukhin as soloist. Born in Liege but raised in Paris, Franck synthesized Wagnerism with French musical traditions, resulting in a fine equilibrium between a voluptuous orchestral sound and audacious harmonies on the one hand, and lucidity and graceful charm on the other. While the three-movement symphony follows a from-darkness-to-light trajectory, the delightful Variations oscillate between symphonic poem and miniature piano concerto.
