MISHA FOMIN : CD LA CAMPANELLA
ZW 88-01.DDD-71'. ff
Review in LUISTER (Dutch music magazine) August 2002
Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Tchajkovsky, Rachmaninov ....
A well balanced and engaging recital of the Russian born pianist, Misha Fomin
(1969, Nalchik), who now lives in The Netherlands. He is a former student of Jan Wijn.
He performs Beethoven and Chopin well, but not with particular distinction.
His interpretation of music composed or arranged by Liszt is outstanding with a subtlety
of touch and phrasing, a refinement of musical expression together with
a natural display of virtuosity. From nr. 5 onwards the recital is of a superior quality,
emitting superbly the distinctive styles of the European romantic
and early-modern piano repertoire. Misha Fomin does full justice to the dreamy
atmosphere of 'Les cloches de Genève', as well as to Debussy's subtle impres-
sion of a mediterranean summer evening in 'Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir',
and to the more solid and dramatic work by Scriabin and Rachmaninov.
