"The result is an irresistible pull into a dreamlike soundscape," is the jury's verdict on the recording of Rautavaara's 3rd Piano Concerto from 1998. Jury member Jörg Lengersdorf continued about the second recorded work: "Imaginative playing, a wealth of pianistic ideas and lightning-fast manoeuvrability in the interplay also make Martinů's rarely heard third piano concerto an unexpectedly spectacular surprise." The CD, released by BIS Records, was included in the 4/2023 list of best recordings. Our congratulations!
