Yoav Levanon:
Liszt – Piano Concertos 1 & 2, Totentanz



Yoav Levanon is only 20 years old but has already released two solo albums — his "A Monument for Beethoven" included a much-praised performance of Liszt's mighty Sonata in B minor. So it's only logical that his first album with orchestra features three concertante works by Liszt — the Concertos Nos 1 & 2 and the Totentanz.

Sergei Redkin:
Prokofiev – Piano Sonatas 6 & 7



According to Sergei Redkin, the Sixth and Seventh Sonatas are "the brightest examples of Prokofiev’s genius: two symphonies for piano, two deeply tragic poems, two vivid documents of their time. I’ve been in love with this music since my school years; I hope this recording will help bring it to the attention of new listeners."

I find the ‘cosiness’ and ‘intimacy’ in this music give me a chance to stand back and reflect, because it is so much about private memories.”
