« After several years of transcriptions devoted exclusively to Russian music, I felt the urge to explore new horizons, to tackle repertory that presented new challenges and called for new ways of approaching the piano.

Florian Noack creates a gripping musical portrait of Prokofiev. His prodigious virtuosity makes light of the percussive provocations of the Sixth Sonata and the furious outbursts of the Russian composer’s Études. Nor does he forget that Prokofiev, a melodist of genius, is equally capable of leading the listener into the unprecedented worlds of his Visions fugitives.

Florian Noack offers a clear, imaginative and vigorous reading of these brilliant yet still little- known pieces. Like Liszt’s Douze Études d’exécution transcendante, which Lyapunov revered, these visionary and colourful works, sometimes steeped in Russian folklore, require the performer to possess technical prowess and poetic sensibility in equal measure. Florian Noack overcomes their countless difficulties with magnificent brio and exemplary musicality.
