Yury Martynov is a distinguished classical musician, renowned for his exceptional talents as a pianist, harpsichordist, and fortepianist. With an extensive background in Russian and Western European classical music, Martynov has carved out a niche for himself as an interpreter of both the clavier works of the baroque period and the complex compositions of the Romantic era. His discography offers a comprehensive exploration of the Western musical canon, with particular emphasis on period-appropriate performances.
Martynov's recent works demonstrate his profound affinity for Ludwig van Beethoven's compositions, as seen in his ambitious project to record all of Beethoven's symphonies transcribed for the piano by Franz Liszt. His technique merges historical awareness with a vibrant, contemporary energy, revitalizing these grand orchestral pieces for solo piano. Not only has he tackled Beethoven's symphonies, but he has also ventured into other territories, such as Mozart's Complete Works for Clavier & Violin on Period Instruments and Sergei Rachmaninoff's compositions. His capacity to move between different composers and genres, all while maintaining a high level of authenticity and musicianship, has earmarked him as a significant figure in the field of classical music performance and scholarship.
