genius pianist 15 Feb 2010
I saw Benjamin live yesterday and he played some of the pieces on this cd. I have had to think hard before writing this for fear of exaggeration. But for me (and this must always be personal) he is among the greatest pianists I have ever heard either recorded or live.I saw Rubinstein live in the 80's. And I have always loved Brendel. He is already (at 17) of this stature. The cd is breathtakingly accomplished; his technique seems flawless and there is no greater musicality than you will find here. He seems most at home with Romantic music, particularly Chopin; the melodies are crisp and sonorous, the tones from the piano are remarkably beautiful. The Kapustin (which I didn't know) is performed playfully, excitingly, brilliantly -- mixing ragtime, jazz, broadway etc in an inextricable mix. I like the Scarlatti least but it is still rewarding listening. He is only 17 but has the musical sensibility of mature genius.

After reading the review in the "Gramophone" magazine (April 2010) I decided to purchase this CD. Although I am not an expert, I believe him to be one of the most talented pianists around. I would definitely recommend you to purchase. I can guarantee you will NOT be disappointed! Happy listening!

******* 4 April 2010
I echo the thoughts of ramirezplayer's review - this young man is so accomplished in so many areas of playing and I look forward to more. The cziffra are particularly thrilling.
