Panayiotis Demopoulos - Johannes Brahms: Intermezzi, Op. 117, Panayiotis Demopoulos: Farewells, Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition

This recording was originally made by Dunelm Records on limited release in 2005 and is now re-released alongside other recordings by Greek pianist-composer Panos Demopoulos. His rip-roaring reading of �Pictures at an Exhibition� is a super conclusion to a concert-style program designed to emulate a live performance, with minimal editing and plenty of passion. Panos takes a measured approach to the Intermezzi, the late and piquant works of Brahms� maturity; performs his own reflective and gentle (yet resolutely modern) Farewells and fires up all cylinders for Mussorgsky�s masterpiece. Panayiotis Demopoulos was born in Athens in 1977, studied with Margaret Murray-McLeod in Edinburgh before moving to Manchester and studying piano with Murray McLachlan and composition with Anthony Gilbert. He is an active performer both as a soloist and as a member of chamber ensembles.
