Liszt: Piano Concerto No.1
Alexander Ullman (piano), BBC Symphony Orchestra, Andrew Litton (conductor)
[ Rubicon / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 24 June 2022
Alexander Ullman was the winner of the 2011 Franz Liszt International Piano Competition in Budapest. He studied at the Purcell School, the Curtis Institute and the Royal College of Music. His teachers include William Fong, Leon Fleischer and Dmitri Alexeev. Alexander's debut album on Rubicon was a recital of great Russian ballet music arranged for piano - Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Stravinsky and received enthusiastic reviews from around the world. This album is his first concerto recording - the two Liszt concertos are coupled with the B minor sonata.
"some of the classiest pianism I've heard in the concertos recently...Ullman's control is simply magnificent, whether in the clarity of his touch, the way he phrases the delicately rhetorical fioritura, or his gradation of dynamics within a trill or a run (try the end of the First Concerto's first movement)." - BBC Music Magazine
"These performances are not out to dazzle their listeners but to pull back the curtain on the unique imagination of one of the foremost architects of musical Romanticism. Very highly recommended." Gramophone Editor's Choice August 2022
