Apple Music Classical

Russian pianist Anna Gourari—who moved to Germany with her parents in 1990 to advance her studies at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich—transmits a ravishing, sometimes stormy beauty. Her albums reveal a sharp curatorial mindset, with programs that drew novel connections, such as offering a Vivaldi transcription of Bach as a starting point for starkly modern pieces by 20th century composers like Arvo Pärt and Giya Kancheli. She has built her reputation using programming to help listeners navigate from Chopin, Brahms and Scriabin—all played with peerless technique and concision—to more modern sounds.
