Nikolai Lugansky

Schumann
Etudes Symphoniques Op. 13; Piano Sonata No. 1 in F sharp minor Op. 11; Toccata Op. 7

The prophesy of Tatiana Nikolaeva - "He is the next one"- about her pupil Nikolai Lugansky has become true. Lugansky is now regarded as one of the major pianists from the Russian Piano School, enjoying a dazzling career across all the continents, playing with the most important orchestras and conductors in world renowned concert venues. He is universally praised for his sincere interpretations, his honesty, his deep burning passion , and (last but not least) his limitless and unbelievably perfected technique. This Schumann programme offers two major large scale works, played with grandeur and nobility, and a dazzling performance of the fiendishly difficult Toccata. Splendid sonics on this recording dating from the mid-nineties.
Recorded: February 22/23 1994, Doopsgezinde Kerk Amsterdam
