The Koroliov Series Vol. XXI
Johannes Brahms
Complete Intermezzi
Evgeni Koroliov, piano
EAN/barcode: 4009850025603
No. 21, the 21st recording of Evgeni Koroliov for the TACET label is available! What I particularly love in the playing of Koroliov: his ability to work out under a veil of objectivity, faithfulness to the text and modesty details of such sensibility and expressivity that make me believe listening for the first time to that piece of music. The 19 Intermezzi by Johannes Brahms offer plenty of opportunity for that.
