Stefan Ender
He is one of the best pianists of the world.

Nun präsentierte sich Alexandre Kantorow am Montagabend mit Werken von Schumann, Liszt und Skrjabin im Mozart-Saal. Von Pathos und Kitsch, kardinalen Interpretationssünden im Romantikfach, zeigte sich der 24-Jährige gänzlich unbefleckt – was bei Schlachtrössern wie Liszts Dante-Sonate ein Kunststück ist.

The piano star is the real deal

This week brings further proof that this new star in the classical firmament is also phenomenal, tremendous etc when the fare is simpler and lighter, as with Saint-Saens' five piano concertos.

Camille Saint-Saëns Concertos No 1 & 2: Diapason d'Or

Alexandre Kantorow released in 2019 Concertos Nos. 3, 4 and 5 by Saint-Saëns whose "presence, volubility, virtuosity, electricity, and above all the art of making the instrument sing" drew the ear everywhere. This second half of the complete concertos confirms the promises of the first.

Alexandre Kantorow plays Saint-Saëns with a feathery touch and a shimmering timbre.

Kantorow's feather-light touch and lustrous timbre are breathtaking, and nowhere does he feel as if he is showing off his virtuosity.

A new brilliance on the London concert scene.

He deserves the fanfares; the virtuosity is breathtaking, the dynamics very fine-tuned, the luminous sound not far off that of the current sensation, Daniil Trifonov.

Alexandre Kantorow, poet of the piano

He played the difficulties in an almost careless way, transforming them into pure gesture so they became vehicles of a poetic intention.
