Mikhail Voskresensky is one of Russia's leading pianists. He is the winner of four international piano competitions (Schumann in Berlin, in Rio de Janeiro, George Enescu in Bucharest, and Van Cliburn in Fort Worth, Texas). In 1966 he was honoured with the Merited Artist of Russia award and in 1989, the People's Artist of Russia. Mikhail Voskresensky has extensive concert experience. His performances has been recorded and issued on more than 50 CDs. His performing art is well known and favored by the audiences worldwide. He is the only pianist in Russia to perform all of Chopin's piano compositions during one concert season (in 1982-83, in nine recitals in the Maly Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire). Mikhail Voskresensky graduated from the Moscow Conservatoire where he studied under Ilia Klyachko, Boris Zemliansky, Yakob Milstein, Lev Oborin (piano) and Leonid Roizman (organ). As student of the famous Lev Oborin, the winner of the First Chopin's Competition in 1927, Voskresensky adopted his teacher's refined romanticism, and perfect taste in harmony with the piano's splendid sound. The images evoked by his playing suggest contrasting musical colours, never out of harmony, with a charming legato inducing the instrument to sing. "His playing fascinates audiences with its artistry, cordiality and ingeniousness. Mikhail Voskresensky is a very talented and intelligent musician", Oborin wrote about his pupil. Voskresensky's repertoire includes Beethoven's 32 sonatas, all works of Chopin, and 64 piano concertos. He has performed with orchestras under the direction of more than 150 conductors, among them - Charles Dutoit, John Pritchard, Franz Konwitschny, Kurt Masur, Eugeny Svetlanov, Kirill Kondrashin etc. Since 2007, he is involved in a project of recording all Mozart piano concerti with Pavel Slobodkin Centre Symphony orchestra in cooperation with the conductor Leonid Nikolaev.

Polina Fedotova is an exceptionally interesting musician, whose concerts always attract true lovers of piano music. Her performances lack self-advertisement; they are marked with a wonderful sense of style and fine taste. Her brilliant virtuosity does not overshadow rich emotions and profoundness of her interpretations. Music surrounded Miss Fedotova from the very first days. Her father - an outstanding conductor Victor Fedotov - worked at the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg for almost fifty years, conducted ballet performances in the world's best theaters. Polina studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire secondary school in the class of the eminent pedagogue Valentina Kunde. Later, she continued her education at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire under professor Yevgeni Malinin, a famous pianist; she went on to post graduate course with professor Valeri Kastelsky. Both professors brought her up in the traditions of romantic school of Henry Neighaus. The beautiful "singing" touche that critics always appreciated in Polina's performances is one of the most characteristic features of the Russian piano school. At the age of 13, she became a prize-winner of the International youth competition Concertino-Praha (2nd prize). Later she participated in other prestigious competitions: Sergei Rachmaninov Competiton in Moscow, where she was awarded a diploma, and Musica di camera in Italy (3rd prize). In 1992, she was the winner of Frederic Chopin International Piano Competition in Palma di Mallorca (1st prize and Gold Medal). A Spanish newspaper "Actualle" highly appraised performances of the young competitor from Russia: "Polina Fedotova has the real power and strength of the Russian piano school, which allows her to transmit all the subtlety of dynamics of the great Polish composer". Polina Fedotova's repertoire is wide: Tchaikovsky and Bach, Rachmaninov and Beethoven, Mozart and Rimsky-Korsakov, Scriabin, Prokofiev and Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, Ravel. Miss Fedotova likes monographic programs. While preparing to such programs, she plunges into the "inner world" of the composer’s soul, emotionally and intellectually. Her interpretations reveal the secrets of the composers' creations, fascinating the listeners with their high expression and deep feelings. Polina Fedotova's concert life is very active and interesting. She is a soloist of the Moscow Philharmony and gives concerts in Russia and abroad. In 1999, she was awarded the important title of the Honoured Artist of Russian Federation. Since 1996, Polina Fedotova teaches piano at the Moscow Conservatoire. "Music educates the human soul, says Polina Fedotova, and I would be happy to know that beautiful ideals of art that are so dear to me since my early childhood, would be preserved in the creative activity of my pupils". |

An exciting new release featuring one of the best loved British concertos in the repertoire, and two premiere recordings. As well as the Finzi, David Campbell brings his authoritative playing to two works for clarinet and orchestra, which were specially written for him. The Fitkin is an approachable work which highlights both the lyrical and more challenging ideas associated with this eminent composer and Carl Davis, who as one of our most successful composers of film music, brings his skills as a more serious composer to a highly attractive new work.
