Sergio Tiempo Click on the link below to hear Sergio Tiempo perform The Hut on Chicken's Legs from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, taken from his recent disc on EMI Classics Martha Argerich Presents - Sergio Tiempo (7243 5 58018 2 1).
'…the Argentine, Venezuelan-born virtuoso presents a stunning calling-card on EMI…Tiempo certainly likes to live dangerously and challenge conventional wisdom. From the first bars of Pictures, one's eyebrows might be raised at the unusually fast pace of the visitor to the gallery - but allegro giusto is what Mussorgsky asks for and what Mussorgsky gets… if you like character, conviction and imagination in a pianist, then Tiempo's tour of the exhibition is an enthralling and often exhilarating experience.
The three Nocturnes could almost pass as improvisations. Tiempo is a colourist in love with the infinite variety a piano can produce. As an illustration of discriminating tone and touch they could hardly be bettered. These are qualities that serve Tiempo well in Gaspard, one of the most compelling and dramatic accounts since that of his mentor Martha Argerich.'

Jonathan Biss Hear Jonathan Biss perform an extract from the second movement of Schumann's Kreisleriana Op.16. Taken from his EMI disc (0946 3 65391 2 6), released January 2007.
"Endlessly cryptic and poetic, Schumann's piano music is tough meat for a veteran pianist, let alone someone aged 25. But the American Biss already seems much at home. In this recital, dominated by the Op 17 Fantasie and Kreisleriana, he judges his rubato most sensitively and always balances fine detail with impetus... Biss is already far beyond promising."
