On this album, Russian star pianist Denis Kozhukhin presents a personal and colourful collection of character pieces taken from Mendelssohn's 'Lieder ohne Worte' and Edvard Grieg's 'Lyric Pieces'. Combining these miniature gems by two outstanding poets of music, Kozhukhin provides a shining example of how disarmingly touching and penetrating a simple song or a vision of nature captured in sound can be. The programme features classics such as Mendelssohn's 'Venetian Gondola Song' and Grieg's 'Wedding Day At Troldhaugen', as well as less famous but equally enchanting pieces. Kozukhin lifts out the noble simplicity of these works with his delicate playing.
