Denis Matsuev: Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich Piano Concertos
«“His power: limitless. His octave and scale technique: without comparison. His touch: highly differentiated. Nobody plays quicker, bolder, more transparent. Betimes one has the impression; a five-armed juggler is juggling five barbells of 50 kilo each, as though they were paper balls. Similarly the young Horowitz must have sounded. Jubilation in the audience.”» Westdeutsche Zeitung, August 7, 2006 -
Denis Matsuev: Stravinsky & Tchaikovsky
Denis Matsuev performs works by Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky
«“Whenever the music was wild and eccentric, we could rely on Denis Matsuev to impress us. Remorselessly he sent Liszt's witches' dance thundering into the hall, sometimes pianistically debatable, hazarding wrong notes, but also courageously taking risks. That was a thrilling and rousing experience. Stravinsky's "Petrushka" suite inspired him to take many rhythmic liberties.”» V. Boser, Abendzeitung -
Tribute to Horowitz
Denis Matsuev: Liszt, F. · Bizet, G. · Ginsburg, Grigory
«“This young winner of the Tchaikovsky award reminds us of the young Guilels: a coloss like a woodcutter, has the power and the musicality alike. Contrarily to a number of his contemporaries, he never goes too quick or too noisy."
