For his solo debut album on myrios classics, Kirill Gerstein has recorded a spellbinding performance of Liszt’s Sonata in B minor and Schumann’s Humoreske. Gerstein plays a crystalline, vibrant rendering of these key works with an even balance of furiousness and finesse. The disc also includes the world premiere recording of Oliver Knussen‘s enchanting composition Ophelia’s Last Dance from 2010.
