Alexander Melnikov (pianos)

Schubert: Fantasie in C major, D760 'Wanderer'
Chopin: Études (12), Op. 10
Liszt: Réminiscences de "Don Juan" (after Mozart), S. 418
Stravinsky: Three Movements from Petrushka

"I don’t know of an orchestral performance of [Petrouchka] that evokes the title character with greater sympathy and pathos than Melnikov achieves… Nor can I think of recorded performances of either Liszt’s or Stravinsky’s benchmark creations more compelling than these…Melnikov’s prevalent richness of detail, unforced but precise rhetoric and exquisite sense of colour are skilfully captured by the engineers." - Gramophone Magazine April 2018
