BEETHOVEN
Piano Sonatas Nos 17, 24, 30 & Bagatelles Op. 126
Andrei Korobeinikov (piano)
Each of Beethoven's 32 sonatas has its own special character. And,
modest though they are in their aims and dimensions, the
Bagatelles show the composer at his very greatest.
Andrei Korobeinikov, born in Moscow in 1986, has performed in
more than 20 countries all over the world and won more than
20 prizes in national and international competitions, among them
the Alexander Scriabin International Piano Competition in 2004
and the Rachmaninov Piano Competition in Los Angeles in 2005, where he also received the Audience Prize.
At the age of 19, he graduated from the Moscow Conservatory with an exceptional award as 'best student of
the decade'. In 2005 he pursued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London with the aid of a
Scholarship. Now regularly invited over the world, he has appeared at Festival International de Piano de La
Roque d'Anthéron, the Auditorium du Louvre in Paris, the Wigmore Hall and the Chipping Campden Festival
in London, the Gstaad Festival, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, and the Performing Arts Center
in Washington.

"Korobeinikov unleashes the sonatas' pent-up fury with such wonderfully unbuttoned directness that
it is hard to complain. There are no half measures in his playing, the technique is formidable; it is a
genuinely thrilling disc." The Guardian
"Andrei Korobeinikov's recital of music taken from the composer's middle and late periods will surely
become a compulsory addition to all lovers of Scriabin's neurotic and compulsive genius…Such
playing, finely recorded and presented, makes further recordings by this phenomenally gifted
young pianist a necessity rather than a probability." Bryce Morrison, Gramophone
ALSO AVAILABLE:

"we hope that Alpha will continue this series, so that
we can hear Le Sage put his fine pianistic colourings
to such masterpieces as the Fantasy and
Kreisleriana." Pianist
