Nikolai Lugansky offers a new refined and brilliant version of Chopin’s piano concertos, with the orchestra that probably has the best connection to the soul and the spirit of French-Polish composer, Sinfonia Varsovia, under Russian conductor Alexander Vedernikov.
“The disc presents the Concertos in the order in which they were written, which means the Piano Concerto No. 2 comes first, bringing out the best in Lugansky here. Understanding the music's shy qualities, he also supplies considerable dash and lilt in its finale.” --BBC Music Magazine, July 2014 ***

Nikolai Lugansky (piano), Sinfonia Varsovia, Alexander Vedernikov
As ever, Nikolai Lugansky displays a perfect balance between virtuosity and poetry through a perfect technique and an amazing range of colours. Together with the orchestra, sometimes almost chamber in character, they achieve to enhance both immediacy and sophistication of those works. Capable of great refinement and sensitivity in Mozart and Chopin, and breathtaking virtuosity in Rachmaninov and Prokofiev, Nikolai Lugansky is a pianist of extraordinary depth and versatility.

His solo recording, featuring Rachmaninov’s two Piano Sonatas, released in Autumn 2012 won a number of awards including an Echo Klassik, Diapason d’Or, ‘Gramophone Choice’, ‘Choc’ de Classica, and Scherzo ‘Excepcionales’, and was followed by a recording with Kent Nagano and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin of the Grieg Piano Concerto and Prokofiev’s Third.
