Antonii Baryshevskyi

In reviewing Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition, Geoffrey Norris for Gramophone magazine wrote that: Baryshevskyi dared to be different, and he does so again here. If you prefer your Pictures in bold primary colours, this is not for you, but Baryshevskyi has ideas that penetrate beyond the surface of the canvas to touch facets of emotion that are obviously personal to him and which bring to the exhibition a special perspective. Baryshevskyi's performances of Scriabin that are the most unequivocally impressive. A review of Shostakovich: Suite for Variety Orchestra; Concerto for Piano, Trumpet & Strings; The Golden Age in Classical Music described: "how the satirical fireworks were always shadowed by a mournful remoteness. And these opposites are nicely balanced here under Antonii Baryshevskyi's volatile fingers and Howard Griffiths's crisp direction."
