Grieg & Prokofiev: Piano Concertos

“[Lugansky delivers] the percussive clangour of the [Grieg] Finale's concluding bars with incredible bravado...This takes its place alongside the finest performances...The Grieg is also impressive. Lugansky gives a consummate account, one particular highlight being his dazzling finger dexterity near the opening of the first movement cadenza.” --BBC Music Magazine, February 2014 *****

Gramophone Magazine Editor's Choice - January 2014

“in the Grieg Concerto he is as rhapsodic and affectionate as he is masterly...In the Prokofiev...his performance blazes with conviction, a propulsion and energy finely complemented wth an innate sense of poetry...In a market place where great recordings jostle for attention...Lugansky takes his own special place.” --Gramophone Magazine, January 2014
