Lugansky:
Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 30
Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Minor, Op. 40

Gramophone: immense technical fluency... innate musical quality... exceptionally well-mannered performances... Lugansky’s tone is beautifully rounded and unforced in all parts of the dynamic spectrum (a truly Russian prerogative) and passages of delicate filigree are spun off with a no less enviable elegance and lightness. Musicweb: The piano playing is truly outstanding, with the young Russian giving the sort of red-blooded readings that have one thinking of a young Richter, Gilels or from our own time, Kissin or Pletnev... This is altogether outstanding Soviet pianism...
