The works recorded here reveal a refined and original
style, especially when Susanne Maria Schwarz delves into the
spiritual world of Gunst with her sensitive musicality
… Susanne Maria Schwarz captures these moods and styles in
exemplary fashion, making the most of dissonant tensions
and of quasi-impressionistic timbres alike. This
makes one want to hear more.”
This was the verdict of Fono-Forum in the 07/2014
issue on Volume 1 of the piano works of Evgenij
Gunst recorded by Susanne Maria Schwarz. She has willingly
responded to this “desire to hear more”, this time adding
chamber music by Claude Debussy performed together
with Elena Denisova.
