Few highlights from the radio broadcast: about Liebermann: "very mysterious, almost impressionistic, but also quietly driving. For me the whole piece is like a river that meanders through a wide variety of landscapes.” about Haydn: "very carefree and light and really spirited in terms of dancing, I really like that.” about Kapustin: "The Trio Revolution plays it technically very precise but very groovy.” - Ulrike Langer
about Kapustin: "Jazz mixed with classical, incredibly difficult to play and rhythmically totally complex. So it's extremely difficult and I think that's a great interpretation of three people, one woman and two men. Super nice music and exciting literature".
Ludwig Hartmann
CD of the day on Radio Klassik Stephansdom: A Georgian power trio led by pianist Ketevan Sepashvili. Unconventional repertoire with Haydn, Liebermann and Kapustin. - CD des Tages - Radio Klassik Stephansdom
“The three play fantastically together and vividly bring out the magic of Liebermann’s music. The new album of the Trio Revolution is a real discovery in the realm of chamber music. Three extremely rarely played flute trios by Liebermann, Kapustin, and Haydn are heard here in exemplary and brilliant interpretations – a fantastic record for curious and open ears!”
Wilfried Schäper - BremenZwei Radio
“Unconventional journey offers works by Lowell Liebermann, Joseph Haydn, and Nikolai Kapustin, which first, confirms Haydn's ease in adapting between such diverse styles, and second, showcases the Trio's overwhelming interpretive prowess”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blanca Gallego - Ritmo.es
“Haydn's three-movement "Flute Trio in D major" stands out as a hit, showcasing the Trio Revolution's deep understanding and embodiment of the music's essence”
“I would like to draw attention to the unique sound of the Fazioli 278 grand piano, which contributes to the special atmosphere in these pieces for the Trio Revolution”

“With performances as deeply insightful as they are techically accomplished, this album makes a first-rate calling card for Georgian artist Ketevan Sepashvili“

“There is no shortage of recordings of Chopin's "Preludes," including outstanding interpretations by Vladimir Ashkenazy, Maurizio Pollini, Martha Argerich, and Rudolf Kehrer, as well as Sepashvili, who hails from Georgia.

“There is no shortage of recordings of Chopin's "Preludes," including outstanding interpretations by Vladimir Ashkenazy, Maurizio Pollini, Martha Argerich, and Rudolf Kehrer, as well as Sepashvili, who hails from Georgia. Sepashvili's recording fits perfectly into this collection. Her interpretation is exceptional, not conforming to any set patterns and of the highest quality. Without hesitation, Sepashvili's album must be called a phonographic event. This is the Chopin played and the kind of recordings one waits for, sometimes for years. In a word – delightful!“.

“Ketevan Sepashvili about CD Moments: "I knew Gabunia very well. When he was studying in Tbilisi (Georgia), he was director of the Conservatory. He was an innovative musician, a great pianist and a wonderful person‘‘.

“Ketevan Sepashvili confidently meets the technical demands of both composers and brings her rich pianistic experience and acquired artistic maturity to bear. She succeeds equally in realizing the delicacy of individual passages with a gentle touch, but in contrast to this, she is also convincing in the more energetic passages with a strong touch”.

Melodic miniatures by the late Georgian composer taken from scores for theatre and film. A rather lovely set, performed with delicate beauty by Sepashvili and flautist Temo Kharshiladze
Ketevan Sepashvili, the remarkable pianist on this album- Norman Lebrecht
Ketevan Sepashvili devotes herself to this delicate cosmos with the appropriate calm and relaxation. Since the music is technically not especially demanding, an atmospheric playing is the essential interpretative element, with which she succeeds excellently-Uwe Krusch

In this eloquently performed music, the Georgian language is another component that has a sensual effect on the ear.

All are delivered superbly here: tone colour is sensitively judged, dynamics well controlled. More freedom in interpretation would be welcomed

They have been making music together since 2018 and, being from the same origin, they are truly united in their passion for the music of their homeland.

The fundamental approach of her interpretation of Liszt is soft and flowing, with a lot of poetic and meditative elements to be heard, rounded off by rubato.

The fundamental approach of her interpretation of Liszt is soft and flowing, with a lot of poetic and meditative elements to be heard, rounded off by rubato. In addition, one feels surrounded by waterfalls, fantasy figures seem to emerge, and the three Faust characters (Faust, Mephistopheles, Gretchen) may be omnipresent. Associations beyond the music arise, giving rise to a grand romantic narrative. This recording possesses an aura that is capable of transcending technique and interpretation into the metaphysical realm. What becomes important when listening is not what the performer is playing, but rather the extramusical images that are awakened in the listener.

On her new CD titled Faust, Georgian pianist Ketevan Sepashvili performs Franz Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata in D minor. I am familiar with the older version of the first piece, performed by Alfred Brendel. Ketevan Sepashvili's rendition is more thrilling, challenging, dynamic, and exciting
