". . . this is one of today's master pianists, and while his effortless virtuosity cannot fail to draw attention, it is used above all to realise a vision of the music which is unconventional but genuine. The "Etudes symphoniques" are strong and massive, and the principal tune of the "Arabesque" is caressed so sweetly that the notes flit by like shadows . . . 'fantastical throughout'." --BBC Music Magazine, January 2005
"Among the younger generation of concert pianists, few have a more vivid imagination than Mikhail Pletnev. The Russian artist also has the capacity to connect the contrasting moods of Schumann's "Etudes symphoniques" to create a work of overwhelming emotional depth. His playing here and in the impassioned Fantaisie is never routine, always rich in expression and subtle in shading. Pletnev's inspired music is complemented by Deutsche Grammophon's warm recorded sound." --Music Week (London), May 2004
"Anyone lucky enough to have heard the recital by Mikhail Pletnev that opened Lincoln Center's Great Performers series last fall knows he is the keyboard's reigning mystic. His new album, "Pletnev Plays Schumann," reveals him at his brooding best." --Daily News (New York), 27. March 2005
