About

For its very first disc with harmonia mundi, the duo formed by Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy offers us three closely related works: Schubert’s celebrated Fantasy, his Divertissement à la hongroise, full of contrasts between bursts of energy and enigmatic mists, and Leonid Desyatnikov’s Trompe-l’œil, written specifically ‘to echo’ the Fantasy. An intriguing hall of mirrors.

Performance ***** Recording ****

“…in this recording the Schubert works emerge as absolutely magical. The Divertissement elicits a sumptuous softness, while the Fantasie creates the impression of vast and intensely dramatic landscapes.”

Michael Church – BBC Music magazine – September 2024

“…It should be said upfront that Kolesnikov and Tsoy share a unity of musical intent, perfectly matched finesse and nuance, and beautifully coordinated pianistic resources that make their hand-in-glove ensemble a joy to experience…”

Patrick Rucker – Gramophone magazine – July 2024

“…These two listen closely, play with rare intimacy and draw us in, demanding we pay the same acute attention.” ****

Fiona Maddocks – The Guardian – 22 June 2024

“… They may have distinct artistic personalities (Kolesnikov leans towards the poetic, Tsoy is more flamboyant), yet they know perfectly how to pool resources and complement each other…” ****

Geoff Brown – The Times – 18 June 2024
