Our Take

Nicolas Namoradze, move over, there's a new keyboard virtuoso in town. York Bowen's "Fragments From Hans Andersen Op. 58 & 61" is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking us through a musical journey inspired by the timeless tales of the Danish storyteller. From delicate melodies to thunderous crescendos, Bowen's nimble fingers dance across the keys with finesse and flair.

But wait, there's more! Bowen's "12 Studies Op. 46" showcase his technical prowess and innovative approach to composition. Each study is like a mini masterpiece, challenging the listener to keep up with the intricate harmonies and complex rhythms. It's like musical sudoku for the soul.

And just when you thought Bowen couldn't impress any more, he hits us with the "2 Concert Studies" that are guaranteed to make your jaw drop. These pieces are a showcase of Bowen's sheer mastery of the piano, with lightning-fast runs and jaw-dropping virtuosity that will leave you breathless.

In conclusion, York Bowen's album is a must-listen for any classical music aficionado. It's a tour de force of piano wizardry that will have you hitting the repeat button again and again. Bow down to Bowen, folks - he's the real deal.
