'great pianistic culture, refined intellectualism, absolute obedience to the musical idea and to the spirit of the work'

Chilean pianist Luis Muñoz with this album presents his late and long overdue debut recording. The selection of works has been influenced by the piano tradition founded by Claudio Arrau, which is where Muñoz comes from as an artist: Sonatas by Beethoven and Prokofiev are framed by Bach transcriptions of the great Ferruccio Busoni. This is a Romantic album through and through, with 'great pianistic culture, refined intellectualism, absolute obedience to the musical idea and to the spirit of the work', as Gerard Kimeklis writes about Luis Muñoz.
