...Giltburg has the capacity to identify with and encapsulate the moods of each piece while artlessly crafting them into a shapely span

Boris Giltburg is generally seen as one of the most versatile pianists. His new album shows that he even masters Robert Schumann with his broad array of facets. He even sparkles when compared to piano-star Grigory Sokolov.

Boris Giltburg's...tempos are leisurely, which...allows the detail, voicing and inner breath of the music—all of which Giltburg explores superbly—to be heard and digested to the full. His tone is pure velvet, cushioned and almost vocal in quality with never a hint of harshness—and complemented here by excellent recording—and the phrasing is always eloquent.
