Grigory Gruzman
Pianist
| Westdeutsche Zeitung (Germany) Gruzman is above all else a sensitive and poetic artist who has at his command a perfect technique and mastery of classical music. The Sunday Times It was a marvellously splendid evening. No wonder with a soloist of this caliber. Strains of seldom heard purity. A magnificent performance by a passionate pianist. Nice-Matin (France) Grigory Gruzman gave a splendid recital in the "Salle Picasso". His playing is full of contrasts, his pianissimo is truly moving. His technique allows him to simply ignore difficult passages. From the very beginning one is reminded of Emil Gilels. |
