(Linn)Playing Brahms’s transcriptions of Bach and Handel, then Reger and Busoni takes on Brahms, Tsoy contemplates creativity across centuries in this fine recitalElegantly constructed and intimate, this debut solo recital album by London-based Kazakh pianist Samson Tsoy has the music of Johannes Brahms at its centre.
