Whatever scintillates and delights is here in super-abundance…from Moog everything sparkles and thunders. A virtuoso to the manner born, notes stream from his fingers like cascading diamonds, his playing alive with what David Fanning so wittily called 'the boggle factor'.

I have to applaud this young firebrand’s enthusiasm, energy and commitment. For those who savour accomplished pianism and musicianship, I would invite them to spend an hour basking in some terrific music-making. Definitely a winner.

Moog surmounts the piece’s formidable technical hurdles to make sumptuous, glistening and, indeed, memorable music. The disc would be worth having for the Moszkowski alone, but the Grieg acquires a freshness and new momentum in the clarity, panache and melodic warmth that Moog brings to it.

Moog pairs the Grieg with the entertaining Moszkowski E major Concerto, an innovation that is worth five stars on its own. Other recordings of this concerto are cast aside by Moog’s charm, élan and committed musicality. Orchestral support from the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarsbrucken Kaiserslautern and Nicholas Milton is lively and the recording is clear and well focused.
