FIVE STAR REVIEW IN BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

The Supraphon solo debut of pianist Jan Schulmeister, featuring works by Musorgsky, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin, has received a superb review in the October issue of the BBC Music Magazine.

“Not yet 20, the Czech pianist Jan Schulmeister makes an outstanding Supraphon debut with this recital of Russian music… all three composers are united here through Schulmeister's in­tense musicality. It's always good to hear Pictures at an Exhibition in its original version for piano rather than an overblown orchestration, yet Schulmeister makes Mussorgsky's suite sound even more subtle than usual… There's more musical intelligence on show in Rachmaninov's Six Moments Musicaux… Many pianists would end there, but Schulmeister offers a reflective encore (Scriabin's Etude, Op. 2 No. 1) to make this feel like a real recital.”
