Amir Tebenikhin – The Legend of Dombra

Amir Tebenikhin – The Legend of Dombra

Amir Tebenikhin won second prize at the 2006 International C. Bechstein Piano Competition Ruhr. This live concert recording from October 7, 2007, in Schloss Bad Homburg shows him as one of the finest pianists of his generation and convinces all the way through: Profoundly deep Schubert (D 664) playing can be experienced along with highly virtuosic Prokofiev and Schumann interpretations. And the orientally inspired musical poem "The Legend of Dombra" by Nagim Mendygaliev, which lends this piano music CD its title, is truly an original enrichment of the repertoire.
