Info zu Denis Matsuev & The New York Philharmonic

Schlichtweg brillant: Star-Pianist Denis Matsuevs erste Aufnahme mit den New Yorker Philharmonikern unter dem Dirigentenstab ihres Chefs Alan Gilbert. Damit treffen sich zwei Meister der Klassik auf einem Album, und das mit nichts Geringerem als dem grandiosen Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 von Rachmaninow und Gershwins berühmter Rhapsody in Blue.

Seit seinem triumphalen Sieg beim 11. Internationalen Tschaikowsky-Wettbewerb 1998 in Moskau ist Denis Matsuev, 1975 als Sohn einer Musikerfamilie in der sibirischen Stadt Irkutsk geboren, ein gefeierter Star auf allen wichtigen Konzertbühnen der Welt. Seine ersten Klavierstunden bekam das damalige Wunderkind bereits im Alter von vier und debütierte nur fünf Jahre später mit Haydns Klavierkonzert. Heute gilt er als ein Meister seiner Zunft, der sich vor allem als Schlüsselinterpret der Klavierliteratur Sergei Rachmaninows einen Namen machte.

'Ich freue mich unglaublich, diese Aufnahme endlich gemacht zu haben.' sagt Denis Matsuev, 'Dieses Projekt zelebriert die Musik von Sergei Rachmaninoff, der für mich einer der größten Komponisten für das Klavier überhaupt ist. Er selber hat sein Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 in New York aufgeführt und wir wissen auch, dass er bei der Uraufführung der Rhapsody in Blue in New York anwesend war.' (Denis Matsuev)

His Carnegie Hall recital in November 2007 was recorded and released in 2009 as an album entitled “Denis Matsuev – Concert at Carnegie Hall.” The New York Times praised this performance writing “…his poetic instincts held fast in tender moments, with trills as thrillingly precise as one might ever hope to hear.”

Norman Lebrecht wrote: “Neither is a virtuoso vehicle and, the composer apart, there is no pianist who has stamped these works decisively as his or her own. Denis Matsuev, a Siberian who made his name in Rachmaninoff is perhaps the first to come close”.
