“Scenes from Childhood” is one of the most perfect cycles, although it is believed that these are “children's” scenes and children play it better, because they do it on a whim. It is very difficult for adults to play it – nevertheless, for me this cycle is a kind of revelation,” Denis Matsuev said in an interview.

Schumann's “Scenes from Childhood” cycle has been performed by the pianist more than once in concert halls in Moscow, St. Petersburg and New York.

“Performed very poetically, in one breath, they immersed the audience in the atmosphere of the 19th century romantic era, infinitely far from today. Already in these small pieces, simple in form, but deep in content, Matsuev showed the most important quality of a performer – the ability to win and lead the audience along the labyrinth of the subtlest bends of the composer's emotional mood”. 
Belcanto.ru about the performance of the cycle “Scenes from Childhood”by Schumann by Denis Matsuev.

Trio for  Piano, Violin and Cello “In Memory Of The Great Artist” is a masterpiece of chamber instrumental music, for which Tchaikovsky nevertheless did not have much love. A truly symphonic scale, the Trio is dedicated to the memory of Nikolai Rubinstein, who died in 1881.

The Trio is performed by true masters: Denis Matsuev (piano), Sergei Krylov (violin), Alexander Ramm (cello).
