Vassily Primakov

In lots of ways Vassily Primakov is a reincarnation from the keyboard virtuoso from the first and middle-20th century: he possesses a massive technique, an extremely individual interpretive persona, and an enthusiastic sense for drama in the best occasions of Romantic and post-Romantic functions. To view him in the piano in efficiency underscores this atavistic look at: Primakov frequently plays trance-like, apparently carried away from the music, with all types of cosmetic expressions and cartoon motions, while still conveying the feeling he’s in full control, despite whatever specialized problems confront him. His developing amount of enthusiasts will assert that he’s fun to view in his fascinating combination of eccentricity and delicate virtuosity. Primakov possesses a wide repertory including Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, and Shostakovich. But he will not skirt the much less meaty repertory, as his shows of Mozart concertos will attest; nor will he prevent the uncommon: he takes on the generally neglected and much less pianistic Dvorák Piano Concerto.
