The are the best classical CDs of 2018

1. Igor Levit: "Life"
Personally, but not vain; wise, but never a know-it-alls: the new Album of the 31-year-old Russian-German pianist Igor Levit. Killed it goes to its fragility – and what may have to do the music . In the center of the "Ghost variations", which Robert Schumann wrote in the time of his Suicide and the themes he wanted to have from the Hereafter. Around Levite messages grouped out of this world: Busoni edited Bach, Liszt, Wagner, edited, Bill Evans edited "Dona nobis pacem". And the Pianist takes part in these imaginary encounters: the self-willed and respectful at the same time.

Yes, this is a Sequel to the success of the CD. A highly passionate.
