Andrey Gugnin presents 4 iconic ballet suites by Tchaikovsky & Stravinsky, in transcriptions for solo piano by Pletnev, Agosti & Stravinsky: The Nutcracker, Petrushka, Sleeping Beauty, and The Firebird. Gugnin was the winner of the Sydney International Piano Competition & BBC Music Magazine Instrumental Award. “My aim with this recording is to assert that piano transcriptions remain compelling not as substitutes for the orchestral originals, but as worthy musical works in their own right.” – Andrey Gugnin.
