This delightful new album from Eroica Classical Recordings features lovely, sensitive interpretations of the music of Franz Liszt and Modest Musorgsky, by the young Canadian pianist, Jacques Despres. His Liszt selections, En Reve and Abschied, based on a Russian folk tune, are rendered with delicate, subtle playing . Jacques Despres not only possesses an excellent technique, but he goes even further in the knowledge and science of his instrument, which bestows him with pianistic means of the first order. The pianistic control, especially in Mussorgsky's wildly popular "Pictures at an Exhibition" is impeccable, the sonority magnificent, and the playing is of utmost and constant clarity.
