'Alexander Kashpurin, un great talent unveiled'

​

An exellent review by Christophe Huss, music critic of LEDEVOIR, after Alexander his performance of the Etudes Tableau of Rachmaninov in the Bourgie hall in Montreal, April 2024.​

​

Christophe is writing among other things the following

The great Russian tradition, combining technique, intelligence, panache, flamboyance and sheer brilliance. And now, with all the praise, pretensions and assertions ............., we had him live in front of us, under the fingers of Alexander Kashpurin. The solid side, framed, as if cast in bronze, with infinite musical intelligence, a refined touch, shaded whenever necessary, daring flights of fancy, real panache, but without destroying the keyboard (in the manner of Matsuev): Kashpurin has it all.​Kashpurin uses it to make the piano a larger-than-life instrument.From the point of view of the way the instrument sounds and resonates, this concert was one of the most intoxicating of the season.'
