The enormous breadth and depth of pianist Michael Korstick’s repertoire is finely documented across numerous CDs. His “Pictures at an Exhibition”, an album of dramatic, breathtaking Russian piano music dating from the 19th and 20th c. and formerly available on the Ars Musici label, has been remastered for release on Gramola. Mr. Korstick has been awarded the German ‘Echo Klassik Prize’, several times. Critics point to the astonishing balance between virtuosity and intensity in Mr. Korstick’s playing, and his reconciling strong individuality with uncompromising fidelity.
