) | Label: P21 Catalog: P21 058 Format: COMPACT DISC CYPRIEN KATSARISCyprien Katsaris is inquisitive as usual: here he plays refined piano transcriptions by Karol Penson, a famous physicist. When Cyprien Katsaris came across Karol A. Penson's magnificent transcriptions he was immediately taken by the refinement that he brought to these reworkings for the piano. A genuine discovery thanks to a transcriber who is also a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Paris VI and winner of the Franco-German Alexander von Humboldt Prize. Cyprien Katsaris is a French-Cypriot virtuoso pianist, teacher and composer. Amongst his teachers were Monique de la Bruchollerie, a student of Emil von Sauer, who had been a pupil of Franz Liszt. Katsaris gave his first public concert in Paris in 1966. Since then, he has carried on to perform with dozens of other orchestras and conductors. He was the first musician to record the complete Liszt transcriptions of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, some of the greatest and most technically demanding in the pianistic repertoire.  Price: $25.98 |
