About
The Russian/American pianist Vassily Primakov has begun a series of recordings for Bridge that have been highly received by the international press. Writing of his recent Beethoven CD (BRIDGE9251), the International Record Review stated that “Primakov's Beethoven offers thoughtful performances from a young musician who is more than a virtuoso.”
Bridge's latest Primakov CD includes music that is close to the heart of the 29-year old pianist—two of Tchaikovsky's major works for piano, The Seasons, Op. 37-bis, and the Grand Sonata in G Major, Op. 37.

The G major Sonata is worlds apart from The Seasons in its grandeur of scale and pianistic demands: bravura and forcefulness of gesture rub shoulders with fleet, delicate detail. It is not an easy piece to bring off, but Primakov does so with terrific élan.
