In cooperation with the German Music Council, 2008 German Music Competition First Prize winner Alexej Gorlatch has released a kaleidoscopic debut CD of exceptional repertoire. Each of the works evokes a spirit of freedom, evocative fantasy and prizes the passing moment. Among other works, the Mozart C minor Fantasy, Beethoven’s Great Sonata, Op. 101, Bartok’s “Out of Doors” Suite are performed by the young German-Russian pianist with such bravura and grand elegance and with such sustained and singing lines that at the end of the CD, after Bartok’s wild chase, you feel completely addicted to this scintillating cocktail ...
"Gorlatch creates a unique atmosphere where moods appear to shift almost of their own accord. This pianistic whodunnit literally takes your breath away."
