Reviews

Setrak Setrakian is an artist of incredible sensibility. He haves a great background as composer from were it comes his great creativity and understanding of the form and drama of each musical line. As a player he fulfills his necessity of immediate and direct communication, being perfectly passionate but always in a profound equilibrium. The maturity of this artist is remarkable, and a serious reflection is taken from each one of his performances. In the present recordings Mr. Setrakian present us some of the most famous of Beethovens Sonatas, which are a paramount of the piano repertory and technique. Also are works of great expressive writing, which a composer and pianist as Mr. Setrakian is can develop in real moments of pure drama. The other Cd includes landmarks of the Romantic period being most of them also works of a high technical demand. Here Mr. Setrakian show us his usual poetic touch along with his impressive piano technique. Interesting is the arrangement of Katchaturian Sabre dance by the performer.
