Reviews

"The sound is beautiful, with a wonderfully deep and sonorous recording from the wonderful The Maltings in Snape. The piano is in first-class condition with a stunning clarity in the upper registers without ever being overly-bright. In multi-channel, the effect is very convincing, with one feeling that we have been given the best seats in the house (and The Maltings is a very good house for chamber music). This must be first choice amongst the available SACD accounts of the Liszt sonata and I suspect it will take someone very special to supplant this wonderful playing." *****

Polly Nomial - SA-CD.net - 9 September 2007

" Playful, deftly leggierissimo, and elegantly fluid, the piece lights on dragonfly wings then surges up a lion’s paw" ****

Gary Lemco - AudiophileAudition.com - 15 January 2007

Artistic Quality 9 Sound Quality 10

"The power and ferocity of the climaxes are enough to make sure you’ve insured your loudspeakers and warned your neighbors! Clearly Lazaridis is no run-of-the-mill virtuoso, and we’re sure to hear more from him."

Jed Distler - Classicstoday.com - March 2007

Tim Parry - BBC Music magazine - November 2006

"As each mesmerising episode unfolds, the listener is compelled along by the sheer force of Lazaridis’s artistic personality." *****

Julian Haylock - Classic FM magazine - October 2006

"A performance of of formidable eloquence and achievement, and it has been finely recorded and presented."

Bryce Morrison - Gramophone magazine - October 2006

"... Liszt playing of a high order, and an indication of a very promising career to come."

John Kersey - International Piano magazine - September 2006

"...For his debut disc with Linn, young Greek pianist George-Emmanuel Lazaridis packs a mighty punch with a torturous coupling " ****
