The Press Says it All

Jason Leland | Sacramento, CA | 12/10/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The press for this recording says it all:

Fanfare Magazine November/December 2008 issue:

"...This is masterful, intuitive playing, albeit not without some interesting quirks. His program is united by a pianism that embraces the instrument as an ensemble of strings, as opposed to a row of hammers... arresting artistry... an iconoclastic sense for rubato rhythm and phrasing..."

American Record Guide November/December 2008 issue:

"I think I have to add Mr Kvitko's Pictures to my collection; it belongs among the best ever made, and the sound is simply thrilling. His Mousorgsky is strong and heavy, with slow tempos and powerful crashes of sound. `The Old Castle' is dark and shrouded in mystery. The last note of "Catacombs" really makes you sit up straight. Much of what he does is startling and dramatic, and all of it sounds natural and very Russian. All his playing is pictorial - more descriptive. You can visualize the pictures from what he is playing. `The Great Gate of Kiev' is a majestic structure when Mr. Kvitko plays it for us - a culmination of all we have "seen", causing us to gasp.""
