Show Notes
Alexandre Kantorow was winner of the piano category at the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition as well as the recipient of that year's Grand Prix. One of the world's finest young musicians, he has recorded a series of much-praised albums for BIS. And the latest release – a Gramophone Editor's Choice in the November 2024 issue – completes the trio of recordings of the three youthful piano sonatas by Johannes Brahms. It's joined by Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy and a selection of Schubert songs in Liszt's transcriptions.
James Jolly caught up with Alexandre in Paris recently to talk about the new release, and also to find out about his plans for the future.
