"Five Stars ... thrilling and remarkable ... an authentic musical experience in its own right and a real pianistic tour de force ... in all four movements there are details usually obscured in orchestral performances which come to light, thanks to his meticulous phrasing and colouring of every bar ..."
- The Guardian
Following his four previous albums devoted to Franz Liszt’s transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies, pianist Yury Martynov completes the cycle with the transcription of the Ninth Symphony. The reduction of this complex work for a single piano and two hands, already adapted for two pianos, constituted a genuine challenge for Liszt, who was obliged to omit certain inner parts. Yet he succeeded in reproducing the symphony’s prodigious character and revealing its incredible power. The piano combines the orchestra, the soloists and the chorus, unifying these disparate voices in a single instrument. Martynov brings all of the work's energy and textures to the forefront performing on a 1867 Blüthner piano.
