The Russian/American pianist Vassily Primakov has begun a series of recordings for Bridge that have been highly received by the international press. Writing of his recent Beethoven CD (BRIDGE9251), the International Record Review stated that “Primakov's Beethoven offers thoughtful performances from a young musician who is more than a virtuoso.”

Bridge's latest Primakov CD includes music that is close to the heart of the 29-year old pianist—two of Tchaikovsky's major works for piano, The Seasons, Op. 37-bis, and the Grand Sonata in G Major, Op. 37.
