Listening to her Bach is something like observing a celestial clockwork.
Fanfare, 11/12 2001 (Laura Rónai)
It is one of those CDs that don’t get worn out with use. This is a wonderful disc, highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:
A remarkable concert.......2004-08-02
This remarkable CD, recorded during a 2000 concert in Baden Baden, was rightfully graded a rosette in the 2003-04 edition of the Penguin Guide to Classical CDs.
Elena Kuschnerova is not a name familiar to many classical music fans. She was instructed in Russia and now lives in Germany. This Bach album is extraordinary, showing a command of the keyboard with technique to burn and musical understanding beyond her years.
Yet, throughout the concert, the pianist eschews flashiness or technique for its own sake. She is consistently at the service of J.S. Bach and his intentions are completely fulfilled in ways that many far more famous pianists cannot match. All the while, her musical intelligence shows like a beacon on a pitch black evening.
The linchpin in this concert is the monumental Partita No. 6 in E minor, one of Bach's most dramatic keyboard creations that is every bit the equal of Beethoven's final all is dust piano sonatas.
From the dramatic opening scale of the Toccata to the closing bars of the seventh movement Gigue, Kuschnerova never fails to entertain, delight and enthrall with her combined command, technique and understanding. Far from being a traversal a Tocatta and six French dances, she creates an organic entity that carries the listener with its sweep and grandeur. Her playing has an inevitability that projects every phrase, every moment, every note in the score as being correct, dramatic and dignified.
The other pieces on this concert -- a French suite, a Toccata and the famous Italian Concerto -- are all done equally well in sound that is exemplary for a concert recording. On the basis of this CD, Kuschnerova can be cast in league with the greatest Bach exponents of this or any other era -- Richter, Gould and Tureck -- and is miles ahead of Bach contemporaries like Richard Goode, Maria Joao Pires and Pyotr Anderszewski. She is a better technician, a better colorist and more inclined to drama than Canada's Angela Hewitt, the reigning first lady of Bach in Great Britain.
Kuschnerova has every bit of Gould's technique mated to Tureck's understanding of J.S. Bach and Richter's incisive and intelligent approach. With Rosalyn Tureck's death, no living pianist I have heard in Bach recordings matches her gifts of technique, understanding, intelligence and drama.
On the basis of this recording, Kuschnerova should proceed to an acclaimed career in Bach. She has the mechanical tools, understanding and sustained technique to become a giant in Beethoven, as well.

Album Description
Live recording of 31 August 1996 from the Martin Luther Kirche zu Peine, Germany. This was planned to be an open-air concert but it was moved into the church because of the bad weather. The members of the Gelbard Quartet are Russian soloists living in Germany. They do not make up any stable group and this hystorical concert was never repeated.

Customer Reviews:
amazing CD.......2003-12-19
This is the ideal introduction to a vastly underrated composer. Scriabin wrote some of the most beautiful and unique piano music ever written. Any fan of classical piano music should be familiar with these pieces. Also recommended are the complete set of 10 sonatas, Ashkenazy is my preferred performer. For a complete set of the Scriabin piano music, Ponti's is the only one that I am aware of. For the pianist, Dover scores has compete sheetmusic for the Sonatas, Preludes and Etudes, and Mazurkas and Other Works. The Symphonies are wonderful as well. Buy Kuschnerova's disc today and open up a new world of music.
Superb!.......2001-04-18
This is one of those CDs that can be heard again and again. Elena Kuschnerova is a pianist that deserves far greater fame than she has been accorded to date, and there is every reason to believe that she will receive it. She lets these works speak for themselves, using a strong and noble tone with an enormous range of colors.
The Etudes Op. 8 are the highlight of this disc. These works are a tremendous technical challenge, without appearing to be so. The interpretation on this disc is particularly noteworthy, as the entire Op. 8 can be heard as a complete work, and not as a group of separate small pieces.
I might add that I am not alone in my opinion. Everyone who has heard this CD has fallen in love with it, even those who have told me that they don't like Scriabin. Highly advised.
