Benjamin Moser (piano)About
Benjamin Moser has achieved great international success, appearing in solo recitals and as a soloist with renowned orchestras, and collaborating with conductors such as Andris Nelsons, Wojciech Rajski, and Fuad Ibrahimov. Benjamin appears on various volumes of the Ruhr Piano Festival recordings; C-Avi music released The Last Sonatas by Beethoven and Schubert.
“I have had the idea for this project since 2016. For the occasion of the 10th anniversary of my prize at the Tchaikovsky Competition and of my first CD with Russian music, I wanted to make another recording, a sort of ‘Volume 2’ with Russian repertoire. Within that framework I wanted to couple a well-known work with others that are more seldom performed: the Pictures at an Exhibition seemed like a good choice, since I had always wanted to play them – particularly in the original version, which I love. I wanted to couple them with Rachmaninov’s First Piano Sonata, a seldom-performed work which, in my opinion, is both marvelous and underrated. But then I discovered Earl Wild’s arrangements of Rachmaninov songs, and soon became thrilled with these technically demanding yet delightfully lyrical miniatures.
“Now, in cooperation with Deutschlandradio Berlin and AvI (to both of whom I extend my heartfelt thanks!), this CD recording now finally sees the light of day. I hope that it will bring much pleasure to everyone who deigns to listen!”
