"Giltburg’s approach to early Beethoven is refreshingly straightforward, and never contrived; textures are lean and clear, rubato never overdone."
- The Guardian
Armenian-born pianist Sergei Babayan is renowned for the sensitivity of his playing. Now he has recorded his debut solo album for Deutsche Grammophon. Dedicated to the music of Sergei Rachmaninoff, it features a selection of piano works and transcriptions.
All recorded in just a small number of takes, the interpretations on this album hold up a fascinating mirror to the emotional complexity of these works. With playing that can move the listener with such immediacy, Babayan is unquestionably a master of expression in sound.
