Info for Debussy, Chopin, Mussorgsky

Bemerkenswerter Einstand: Auch wenn eingefleischte Mathematiker wohl heftig dagegen protestieren würden: Das Ganze ist oft mehr als die Summe der Teile. Das gilt auch für die drei sehr unterschiedlichen Klavierzyklen von Frédéric Chopin, Modest Mussorgsky und Claude Debussy, die Behzod Abduraimov für sein bemerkenswertes Debüt bei ALPHA CLASSICS ausgesucht hat: Jeder Satz ist eine Miniatur für sich doch gemeinsam bilden sie ein Kaleidoskop menschlicher Emotionen und Eindrücke. Der 1990 geborene Usbeke zählt ohne Zweifel zu den vielversprechendsten Pianisten seiner Generation. Kein Wunder, dass der junge Künstler von Valery Gergiev protegiert wird, mit dem er bereits mehrere Aufnahmen realisiert hat.
