"Four Stars ... Donohoe treats these piano miniatures with utmost sincerity. His new recording of the complete set isn’t introspective or showy; it isn’t overly reverent or sensationalist. Above all his playing is frank, sometimes to the point of plainness ... there is immense dignity and power in Donohoe’s directness ..."
- The Guardian
Celebrated international pianist Peter Donohoe begins a series dedicated to Shostakovich with this rendition of the 24 Preludes and Fugues, composed within several months after a performance by Tatiana Nicolayeva, whom Shostakovich heard as a jurist for the Leipzig Bach Competition in 1951. Although doubtlessly also inspired by J.S. Bach’s own 48 Preludes and Fugues in his use of form and counterpoint, Shostakovich’s compositions are all deeply original and rooted in his own enigmatic and ambiguous style, moving from charming simplicity to dazzling virtuosity.
