Nikolai Lugansky’s first recording for ONYX. The Daily Telegraph, commenting on Lugansky, said ’He can thrill in taxing pianism through his iron will and fingers of steel, but there is an assuaging velvet quality to his tone, a natural feel for lyrical line’

Gramophone praised his ’pianism of immense techical skill, fluency and innate musical quality’
