Evgeni Koroliov, piano
EAN/barcode: 4009850020608
A music lover who goes to a concert or listens to a recording always expects something human, from the composer as from the artist, that relates to him personally, moves him or is even similar to him. Not least, the listener wishes to find himself/herself in the work and in the sounds. Evgeni Koroliov makes this easy for the listener. As a matter of course, he takes one by the hand and shows something familiar - so much that one already knew but just could not express in words or tones. He speaks in a way that makes one believe one is listening to a relative. - What, then, does Koroliov communicate from Beethoven? First of all, he exposes the structures, as always, allowing us to admire the artistry in the last sonatas. Beyond that, he knows a lot of other things about him - but you should have him tell you those things himself.

Fanfare (17/06/2013):
Evgeni Koroliov has never disappointed me in the past—there may be many works in which I don’t agree with his approach, but he is such an intelligent and technically accomplished musician that he is in the least always thought provoking; at his best he is simply one of the greatest pianists alive today. en savoir +...

Der Band 14 von TACETs "Koroliov Series" holt dies jetzt mit zwei der musikalisch und pianistisch anspruchsvollsten Sonaten nach, dem quasi romantisch beginnenden A-Dur-Werk op. en savoir +... klassik.com (04/04/2013):
Mit nobler Sprache
(...) Es gelingt ihm [Koroliov] vom ersten Ton an, eine ungeheure Spannung zu erzeugen und damit den Zuhörer wahrhaft in seinen Bann zu ziehen, wie es heute längst nicht mehr alle Interpreten schaffen. en savoir +...

Klassik heute (12/03/2013):
Wann immer man im Zusammenhang mit Musik „vom Ernst des Lebens" sprechen möchte, wäre der Pianist Evgeni Koroliov und seine Interpretationen der geeignete Gegenstand. Seine zahlreichen Einspielungen für das rührige und auf hohe Qualität bedachte Tacet-Label bestätigen ihn auf einer sicheren Spur friedfertiger Unbeugsamkeit, des Erkundenes vorgegebener Werte mit klaren Vorstellungen. en savoir +...
