进口CD:柯瓦契给奇演奏贝多芬知名钢琴奏鸣曲(2CD)(CD)(96592229)

《柯瓦契给奇演奏贝多芬知名钢琴奏鸣曲》'Kovacevich is no pianistic egoist ... He wants you to love and appreciate Beethoven's music as he does. When combined with such refinement of technique, energy , sense of colour and imagination, it's an attitude I find particularly compelling'
Gramophone Magazine

In 1967 Kovacevich made his New York début and since then he has toured Europe, the United States, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and South America.

As a soloist and conductor, he is probably best known for his interpretations of the core classical repertoire, including Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Bartók.

His international reputation has been built both on his concert appearances, renowned for their thoughtfulness and re-creative intensity, and on the highly acclaimed recordings he has made throughout his career.

In addition to his solo work, Stephen Kovacevich enjoys good relations with orchestras as a conductor and by directing from the piano. He has directed the London Mozart Players, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in this way. His chamber music partners have included Jacqueline du Pré, Martha Argerich, Steven Isserlis, Nigel Kennedy, Lynn Harrell, Sarah Chang, Gautier Capuçon, Renaud Capuçon, and Emmanuel Pahud.
