A successful pianist, possessing a brilliant technique enabling him to interpret freely music varied in style and expressiveness from pre-classical to modern times, in this CD Tomislav Baynov offers some of the gems of world piano music. His performance features remarkable delicacy and crystal-clear sound in the four sonatas by Scarlatti, the Father of piano music, brilliance and vitality in Mendelssohn's Rondo capriccioso, as well as in the superb Liszt's paraphrase on a theme from Verdi's Rigoletto. There are tenderness and logic in the construction of Chopin's Scherzo in B flat minor, virtuosity and emotional power in Rachmaninov's Etudes. Added to these are three works by the great French composers Maurice Ravel and Olivier Messiaen.
