On Inmost Heart: Bach, Brahms, Busoni, Reger, pianist Samson Tsoy’s artfully designed solo debut recording, ideas reverberate across the centuries as Brahms’s elaborations of works by two past masters are juxtaposed with reworkings of his own music by two later composers. Lauded for his originality and ‘inexhaustible imagination’, the young pianist and celebrated duo partner of Pavel Kolesnikov is fascinated by the intimate and poignant role of an interpreter. Questioning the subtle difference between interpretation and creation, Tsoy weaves together this complex tapestry of versions, variants and variations. Forming the core of this gripping recital, Variations and Fugue on a theme by Handel, Op. 24, is a series of carefully crafted miniatures. Bach’s Chaconne, brilliantly arranged for the left hand by Brahms, is another instance of a genius humbly sourcing inspiration while interpreting the masterwork of his predecessor. The rest of the recital points to Brahms’s successors Busoni and Reger, who arranged six of Brahms’s Chorale Preludes, Op. 122, and Vier Ernste Gesänge, Op. 121, respectively.
