Recorded in 2008.
Muza Rubackyte is a Lithuanian pianist living in Paris. She has made many recordings for the Lyrinx label, including an acclaimed set of Liszt, of which the BBC Music Magazine wrote, ‘Rubackyte’s Annees de Pelerinage rises to the top of this cycle’s shortlist.’ This month sees her debut on Brilliant Classics, in two albums of music by César Franck. Franck's dense, chromatic harmonies and incense-laden melodies present unique challenges to pianists.
Gidon Kremer's 1977 duo recital with Oleg Maisenberg at the Schwetzingen Festival launched his international career with a spellbinding Prokofiev First Sonata, lyrical Beethoven Op. 96 and a tension-filled Webern Op. 7.
