EAN/barcode: 4009850022602
The latest CD from Evgeni Korioliov offers a new and, at the same time, old answer to the question of whether there is any point in bringing out discs today that have been recorded a hundred times before. Mozart KV 330 etc. - many people are rolling their eyes at it, but only until they hear the first few notes. This music has never been heard like this before. The mobile phone falls into their lap, the computer mouse is still. The ears really want to give it their full attention. Some of the nagging stress of everyday life evaporates. Time drifts by. It makes you happy to watch this. This is actually what music should always do.
In the midst of all this pleasure, it's easy to forget that the artful way in which this is achieved isn't thanks to any old pianist. Evgeni Koroliov doesn't go looking for recognition. He calmly takes us by the hand and shows us the beautiful, hidden corners in Mozart's music.

--> original review In 1781 when the Archbishop of Salzburg’s servant dismissed Mozart with “a kick up the backside,” as Mozart famously wrote his father, he found himself overjoyed to be in music-mad Vienna. more...

Koroliov mit feinem differenziertem Mozart
Evgeni Koroliovs ältere Mozart-Aufnahmen haben wir in bester Erinnerung, und so sind diese neuen Interpretationen keine Überraschung. Die Leichtigkeit des Spiels, das Raffinement des Anschlags, die feinstgesteuerte Agogik, Präzision und Transparenz der Artikulation, die Klangschönheit, all das zeigt den Pianisten in diesem Programm von seiner besten Seite. So hören wir einen sehr differenzierten Mozart mit schöner Virtuosität in den Ecksätzen und viel Ausdruckskraft in den langsamem Sätzen, einen Mozart, der kontinuierlich zum Hörer spricht und ihm viel zu erzählen weiß.

Pizzicato (11/07/2016):
According to my recollection of Evgeni Koroliov’s older Mozart recordings, this new CD is not a surprise. The lightness and the refinement of his playing, the precision and transparency of the articulation, the beauty of the sound, all this shows the pianist at his best.
