About
Equally well-suited to the demands of the French Baroque as to the high Romanticism of Tchaikovsky and Chopin, Pavel Kolesnikov’s attentive musicianship yields predictably revelatory results in the music of Louis Couperin.

May 2018
He’s commandeered a Yamaha concert grand and had it regulated in two ways: one nurturing darker and even more rounded sounds to enhance what he perceives to be the music’s singing qualities; the other facilitating bright, agile precision…Kolesnikov flips from idiomatic ‘clavecinist’ to romantic pianist and back in the blink of an eye, sometimes blurring the underlying characteristics of individual dances in his expressive endeavours.
One wonders where Kolesnikov’s intuition will take him next. This is another Hyperion winner.
29th April 2018
His style recalls old-fashioned Bach on the piano: weighty…Kolesnikov justifies his championing of the composer with a variety of colour in the F sharp minor Pavanne.
August 2018
Louis’s humanity shines through in the touching Tombeau de Mr de Blancrocher…magical stuff: to be consumed with red wine and thick slabs of brie.
