Michael Dussek Pianist

Recordings by Michael Dussek

"Michael Dussek, whose innate musicality and instrumental command are evident from first note to last."
BBC Music Magazine.

York Bowen Piano Concerto No. 1, Violin Concerto.
Michael Dussek (Piano), BBC Concert Orchestra, conductor Vernon Handley.
Dutton Epoch 7169.

“Lorraine McAslan and Michael Dussek perform with fire and passion, bringing to Bowen’s unknown and under-appreciated concertos a sense of commitment that is indeed rare. Their incisive and insightful performances will not only focus attention on their abilities, but will surely raise the consciousness of the curious regarding this repertoire…This is a fine and much-needed addition to the collection of every Anglophile and one of the newest inductees in our Classical Hall of Fame.”
Fanfare magazine Hall of Fame Performance

"Michael Dussek negotiates the note-splattered Scharwenkian terrain with infectious bravado and sensitivity, and "Tod" Handley directs with all his customary sympathy and understanding."
BBC Music Magazine, 5-star recording.

"This performance is outstanding, with Michael Dussek admirably stylish and Handley offering the most malleable support. The Watford Town Hall production marries amplitude and warmth to realistic balance, making this a peach of a disc."
Classical Good CD Guide.

"Dussek's performance is brilliant and sensitive by turns - he is a pianist who, on this showing, certainly deserves to make many more records."
International Record Review

"Michael Dussek displays scintillating tone and a fine technique."
Fanfare Magazine

York Bowen Piano Concerto Nos. 2 and 3; Symphonic Fantasia.
Michael Dussek (Piano), BBC Concert Orchestra, conductor Vernon Handley.
Dutton Epoch CDLX 7187
"All this is superbly performed by Vernon Handley while Michael Dussek (who teaches at Bowen's alma mater, the Royal Academy of Music) plays with brilliant facility and the warmest musical commitment."
Bryce Morrison, Gramophone.

"Michael Dussek is clearly equally at home whether as a chamber musician or as a flamboyant concerto soloist... The piano-writing is immensely demanding but it is also highly pianistic and for the most part even the most challenging of passagework lies under the fingers. Dussek (the pianist on no fewer than 21 CDs in Dutton's Epoch Series!) performs both concertos with real panache and élan, revelling in the stunning array of figurations and textures while coaxing out the most gorgeous extended melodic lines."
International Record Review

"That indefatigable champion of British music, Vernon Handley, here presents a strong case for one of the 20th century's semi-forgotten figures, enhanced by the pianistic panache of Michael Dussek. The music of York Bowen (1884-1961) is firmly rooted in the 19th century, both from the point of view of its harmonic palette and in the broad romantic sweep and bravura of the Piano writing. Its combination of succulence, brilliance and strong melodic threads, coupled with the sensitivity and spirit of these performances, ought to win new admirers for two imaginative concertos and a Symphonic Fantasia of Straussian lyricism and verve." The Daily Telegraph

You’ll want to play it again immediately; that says it all.” International MusicWeb “The core of the project is a fascinating exploration of music that is eminently worth a second hearing.” Gramophone “The presto coda and thrilling octaves round off a most exhilarating and satisfying rendition of this potent Chopin opus.” Fanfare

"One of the most magical discs of Britten yet made."

"Michael Dussek proves a magnetic interpreter of the solo Piano music, bringing out the sparkle of the boyhood waltzes (or "Walztes" as the boy Britten called them) and the Holiday Diary. He then finds intense poetry and magic in the Night Piece."

Edmund Rubbra: Complete music for Piano solo, with Rachel Dussek, Piano.
Dutton CDLX 7112

Here is an example of a record company getting everything right. An outstanding artist playing worthy yet neglected repertoire in beautifully recorded sound... It would be hard to imagine a more congenial, sensitive and perceptive advocate of this music than Michael Dussek, whose innate musicality and instrumental command are evident from first note to last. Everything is natural, nothing is forced, and the blend of lyricism, contrapuntal clarity and the underlying harmonic rhythm is exemplary. And the recorded sound is so perfectly matched to the spirit and texture of the music that it must be counted as an act of interpretation in itself."
BBC Music Magazine

"Michael Dussek, whose father studied with Rubbra at Worcester College Oxford, performs his usual selfless and flawless mission in facilitating access to works by deserving British composers."

Clifford Benson Piano Works; Landor Records LAN 283
Classic Album Recommendation, Classic FM

“Clifford Benson, one of the finest accompanists and chamber musicians of his generation, died in August 2007 aged 61. He was to have made this recording of his piano works himself to celebrate his 60th birthday. In the event, the effects of an inoperable brain tumour, diagnosed in December 2006, made it impossible for him to play, and the project turned into a race against time. His friend and colleague Michael Dussek, who has made so many fine recordings of English piano music for Dutton, stood in. Warmly recorded (Potton Hall) and played with affection and consummate artistry by Dussek, the programme reflects the personality of an engaging and much-missed musician.”
Gramophone

“Michael Dussek kindly stepped into the breach and with Clifford’s help produced this enchanting recital of indelible miniatures. Perfect late-evening listening.”
Classic FM Magazine

“There is much to savour on this disc, with performances from Dussek that display the utmost subtlety and technical finesse.”
International Record Review

“Splendid playing, and superb recording quality as can be expected from Tony Faulkener make this a CD well worth exploring.”

Nielsen Music for Wind and Piano, including Three Piano Pieces op.59;
New London Chamber Ensemble; Meridian CDE 84580

“Michael Dussek emerges as fully equal to the latest advances in the piano music on disc. This is one of the best Nielsen discs ever made.”
MusicWeb International Recording of the Year

“Michael Dussek fully justifies the apparently anomalous inclusion of the late Three Piano Pieces with a reading whose intelligence and empathy yield to no rivals.”

“Michael Dussek is both an admirable partner and a splendid soloist in his own right in the fine Op.59 set.” International Record Review

Bax Songs. Jean Rigby, Mezzo-Soprano, Ian Partridge, Tenor, Michael Dussek, Piano.
Dutton CDLX 7136

"It helps that all three of the artists on this recording are so obviously deeply committed to Bax's music. No-one has done more than Ian Partridge to rescue early twentieth century music from the muddy end of the meadow. For her part Jean Rigby is in sumptuous voice. Would any other mezzo have been willing to tackle "At the Last" with a tessitura so low that it seems to be scraping along the gravelly bottom of the stream? But it's Michael Dussek who deserves the lion's share of the honours, for making you take Bax's demanding Piano writing at much more than face value."
International Record Review

"The composer's emotions plus his prowess as a pianist led him to write the most elaborate accompaniments, here brilliantly played by Michael Dussek, making light of the technical difficulties." Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
"The songs' almost operatic lines and undeniably orchestral piano writing are magnificently brought to life by singers Ian Partridge and Jean Rigby, and by the pianist Michael Dussek." Daily Telegraph

"Michael Dussek's accompaniments are a model of scrupulous musicality."
Gramophone

Kenneth Leighton Piano Trio, Partita for Cello and Piano, Metamorphoses for Violin and Piano, with Andrew Fuller, Cello and Lorraine McAslan, Violin.
Dutton CDLX 7108

"The performances (by three superb musicians) are magnificent - pure, nuanced, expressive, even exalted. Dutton's sonics are wonderful: full, vivid, natural, immediate. On every level - music, performance, recording - this is one of the best recordings of modern chamber music you will ever hear."
American Record Guide

"This most impressive disc... is an ideal introduction to this important, but still underrated composer. He is not underrated by these artists, however, who play with passionate conviction and splendid risk-taking attack. "
Gramophone

"There are committed and powerful performances from all three artists, who are completely inside this fine music. This is a first-rate recording, and the recorded sound is in the top flight."

Edmund Rubbra Violin Sonatas, with Krysia Osostowicz, Violin.
Dutton CDLX 7101

"Osostowicz and Dussek make out the strongest imaginable case for Rubbra's neglected violin works. Their empathetic ensemble generates performances of flawless integrity and insight, and one wonders why Rubbra's superb Third Sonata, particularly, hasn't secured a niche in the repertoire. Recommended."
BBC Music Magazine 5-star recommendation

“The Third Sonata is a simply wondrous piece... fully deserving of the exalted advocacy it receives on this enterprising anthology. Indeed Osostowicz and Dussek form an outstandingly sympathetic partnership and they are handsomely served by impeccably balanced sound. An invaluable and enormously rewarding release, in sum, enthusiastically recommended."
Gramophone. Short-listed for Gramophone Award.

"The Second Violin Sonata, with Albert Sammons and Gerald Moore, was the first Rubbra work to reach the gramophone. Although Frederick Grinke and the composer himself recorded it for Decca in the early days of the LP, there has been no decent modern recording. Krysia Osostowicz and Michael Dussek are worth waiting for, since not only the recording but also, surprisingly, the performance eclipses both its distinguished predecessors."

York Bowen Suite for Violin and Piano, Cello Sonata, Violin Sonata. Endymion Ensemble.
Dutton Epoch CDLX 7120

"These musicians play Bowen with dedication and enthusiasm. I particularly commend the pianist, whose warmth of tone and virtuosity reflect the fact that Bowen was himself a pianist. These three works are all major additions to our knowledge of this composer, strong statements from three periods of his compositional life, of consistently high quality, beautifully played."

Michael Dussek revels in some Rachmaninov-like virtuoso figuration."
BBC Music Magazine

"The rehabilitation of York Bowen continues apace with this appealing triptych of chamber works, passionately performed by members of the Endymion Ensemble."
Gramophone

“The early Suite for violin and piano was written for Fritz Kreisler, and it breathes an air of sultry Romanticism that is highly engaging and may remind you a little of Fauré. Krysia Osotowicz plays here with world-class technique and considerable sensitivity, while Michael Dussek offers hand in glove accompaniment.”

"Listening to the compositional polish of these works, to their easy fluency, their approachable demeanor, and clear inspiration, I find it a wonder that one doesn’t hear this repertoire more often…The performance is a joy: Dussek and Reid (actually a pupil of Dussek’s) play as one, reacting to the music’s changes of direction with quicksilver responses….the finale (the ninth variation) presents appropriate fireworks, beautifully and excitingly rendered here by Dussek and Reid.”

EM Records CD005 2012.

"Performances by London’s Bridge Quartet, for over 20 years ambassadors for English music, are ravishing; and pianist, Michael Dussek, who has his work cut out for him in all but the String Quartet, is nothing short of amazing. In composing the piano parts for (his wife) Adine, O’Neill knew he was writing for a highly accomplished artist with no technical limitations. Accordingly he wrote for the piano as he would have for the most skilled virtuoso, and Dussek rises to every challenge, especially in the very difficult-sounding Quintet.
Here then is a collection of never-before recorded works by a virtually forgotten composer given in brilliant performances and superior recorded sound. Urgently recommended."
