About

Piano Classics was the first label to exclusively devote itself to piano music. Since its founding in 2010 it has released countless extraordinary recordings, presenting many repertoire rarities and amazing young pianists. The press has always been enthusiastic about the label's releases and have showered many 5-star and Editor's Choices on them.

To celebrate its success Piano Classics will release several 10-CD Explorer Sets, featuring highlights from its catalogue. The first set contains composers from behind what one may loosely describe as the former "Iron Curtain". Not the usual suspects but composers to explore, discover and appreciate: Lyapunov, Bortkiewicz, Blumenfeld, Medtner, Balakirev, Glazunov, Kosenko, Novak, Enescu, Shamo, Pejacevic, Gazarossian.

Played by Vincenzo Maltempo, Mark Viner, Pavel Gintov, Saskia Giorgini, Mattia Ometto, Tobias Borsboom, Dimitri Tchesnokov, Ekaterina Litvintseva and Nare Karoyan.

A treasure trove of the unexpected, in superlative performances and recordings, at an attractive budget price!
