DISCOGRAPHY MICHAEL KORSTICK
Debussy
“Michael Korstick concludes his recording of Debussy’s complete piano works with six individual pieces and the “Douze Études” – as a cycle undoubtedly one of the most convincing alternatives in the catalog. Korstick combines the courage to attack with many pastel shadings, he hardens the octaves in the fifth etude as if they were steel, he gives the sixths in the fourth an inconspicuous gentleness.
Fono Forum
“This is the fifth and last installment of Michael Korstick’s complete Debussy solo piano works. The first four volumes have won some golden opinions, but still somehow this pianist has not quite become recognized outside Germany as the superb recording artist he is. Perhaps this Debussy cycle, completed with the issue of this disc at the start of the Debussy anniversary year, will spread his fame wider. It deserves to.”
