The album provides a good insight into the versatility of a pianist who feels very much at home in the classic French, German and Russian repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries. From Beethoven, Chopin and Brahms to Debussy, Scriabin and Rachmaninov, the interpretations of Fomin are stylistically authentic, highly refined and meticulous. He plays with a personal tone that allows the music to speak for itself.
With his intelligent, nuanced and technically flawless playing, Fomin continually allows new listeners to discover the gems of the classical piano repertoire.
