Debut recording for Pentatone – out now

Released today is Denis Kozhukhin’s debut recording with Dutch recording label Pentatone.

After signing an exclusive recording agreement with Pentatone in September 2015, Kozhukhin’s first recording with the label will feature Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor and Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor recorded with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and Vassily Sinaisky at the Funkhaus Berlin.

Kozhukhin is currently Pentatone’s Artist of the Season; read more about it here. You can also watch an exclusive ‘Artist of the Season Diary’ here, filmed during the recording period, which gives an insight into the recording process as well as Kozhukhin’s thoughts on the works included on the disc.

The recording is now available for purchase and digital download here.

Denis Kozhukhin’s paradoxically no-nonsense poetry meant that a constant sense of motion culminated in the whirlwind of the finale, a steady move towards implosion mirrored in the piano transcription of Ravel’s La Valse at the end of the programme.
