Alexei Lubimov (piano)

Debussy: Préludes - Books 1 & 2 (24, complete) Trois Nocturnes with Alexei Zuev (piano) Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune with Alexei Zuev (piano)

July 2012 ***** BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE “Debussy's use of pianistic colour is absolutely central to this tremendous set from Alexi Lubimov. He uses the characterful sonorities of two pianos from close to Debussy's time...not claiming historical fidelity, but simply exploring the timbres of the early 20th-century piano. And what an exploration it is, for the instruments allied to Lubimov's individuality bring the pieces alive in ways that are by turns mesmerising, thrilling, beguiling and playful.”
