Enescu: Suite for Piano No. 2 in D major, Op. 10
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Borodin: Nocturne from Petite Suite
One of Germany’s most prominent pianists, Alexander Krichel from Hamburg, has brought together a couple of heavyweights for his first album with Berlin Classics. He places “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky, a central work of the piano literature, side by side with a rarely heard gem by the Romanian composer George Enescu. Enescu’s Second Piano Suite enhances the formal language of the Baroque with Romantic and Impressionist timbres, and entrances the listener with a rich palette of tone colours. To round off the programme, Alexander Krichel plays another work by a composer from Russia’s “mighty handful”, the Nocturne from the Petite Suite by Alexander Borodin.
