CD Review: Kozhukhin plays Brahms
“His new recording on Pentatone, built around Brahms’s 10 Ballades and op. 116 Fantasies, demonstrates that, on disc at least, he’s more than a flash-in-the-pan sensation: Kozhukhin is…a furor pianist”
“…to hear him play is to experience some of the most thoughtful, sensitive, and focused pianism out there.”
“There’s also an intensity to Kozhukhin’s playing that doesn’t transfer to disc all that often: the inwardness of a live performance that keeps you on the edge of your seat – especially in quiet moments – is very much present here, too.”
