Alessio Bax returns to disc on Signum with two masterworks of Beethoven's piano repertoire, as well as a new arrangement from 'Die Ruinen von Athen'.
Pianist Alessio Bax creates "a ravishing listening experience" (Gramophone) with his lyrical playing, insightful interpretations, and dazzling facility. First Prize winner at the Leeds and Hamamatsu international piano competitions - and a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient - he has appeared as soloist with over 100 orchestras.
"a reading of a formidable pace and impetus yet leaving ample time for expressive resource...this performance stands its ground in music to test the technique and intellect of even the greatest pianists...Finely recorded, Alessio Bax is clearly among the most remarkable young pianists now before the public." (Gramophone Editor's Choice Nov 2014)
