Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: Piano The first volume (Claves CD 50-2707) was a huge success, receiving, among other accolades, a Choc award from Monde de la Musique. Pianist Joanna Brzezinska is back with a new collection of solo pieces by the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. In his preface, writer Etienne Barilier says it all in a few words. “Simple, sweetly naïve melodies and energetic, unrelenting rhythms carried by a boundless, surging vitality. Such is Brazil - sentimental and powerful, ingenuous and wild; ineffably gentle and yet infinitely forceful. Heitor Villa-Lobos succeeded in all his works, and particularly in those gathered here, in bringing these extremes together: languor and vigour, the caressing hand and the closed fist, the sun and the moon.” As of the first bars, Joanna Brzezinska’s piano wafts you away… |

Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: Piano Firma Melodiya presents a solo album of Ekaterina Mechetina, a wonderful Russian pianist of the new generation.
A graduate of the Moscow Conservatory where she studied under associate professor Vladimir Ovchinnikov and professor Sergey Dorensky, and a laureate of the Youth Prize “Triumph” and seven prestigious international competitions, Ekaterina Mechetina began to conquer the musical Olympus at a very early age.
The young pianist’s first concert took place when she was ten. Her pianistic gift was acknowledged by some of the great masters of 20th century music art. So, Rodion Shchedrin entrusted her with the world premiere of his sixth piano concert after he heard her for the first time; Mstislav Rosropovich invited her to perform with the orchestra he conducted. Ekaterina Mechetina has won the audiences of some of the world’s best venues. Today, the pianist plays over sixty concerts annually performing at some of the largest concert hall. Her repertoire includes about fifty piano concertos and dozens of solo programmes. She has worked with outstanding soloists, conductors, symphony and choir collectives of Russia and other countries. The pianist’s perfect mastery, bright creative individuality and amazing artistic charisma have won the hearts of listeners around the world. On this album, Ekaterina Mechetina appears as an inspired interpreter of Russian classical piano music. Apart from one of then greatest cycles of Russian music of the 19th century which is Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, it also includes eight of the études-tableaux from Rachmaninoff’s Op. 33 and two virtuosic pieces by Tchaikovsky - Dumka and Theme with Variations.

Subcollection: Clarinet The Basset Horn is essentially the tenor member in the large clarinet family. It is pitched in F and has four extra semitones below the equivalent clarinet range thus giving the instrument its 'basset' or 'little bass' character. It is distinguished from the clarinet by its soft uniquely dark and velvety timbre.
From the evidence of the accounts of the many virtuosi who traveled throughout Europe at this time it is clear that the instrument had a role very much on a par with the clarinet.
The Swiss Clarinet Players with the support of clarinetist Thomas Friedli present a selection of works from the golden age of the basset horn.

Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: Piano and Clarinet Firma Melodiya presents the art of two young soloists - virtuoso clarinetist Ivan Stolbov and pianist Kim Ja Ran (South Korea - Russia). Both musicians are graduates of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, prize-winners of international competitions and active stage performers in Russia and overseas. Ivan Stolbov began to learn music since the age of nine. Now, he is a soloist of the Mariinsky Theatre orchestra and teaches at the St. Petersburg Music College. Among his major achievements are first prizes of the Rimsky-Korsakov International Competition in St. Petersburg, Jeunesses Musicales in Bucharest and the Wind and Percussion Competition in Tokyo. The musician gives open lessons and master classes around the world. Kim Ja Ran , who started to play music when she was four years old, has been a two-time prize-winner of the International Music Competition in Albena, Bulgaria, in the categories of best solo piano performance in 2005 and performance by a piano duo in 2007. Today, she is an artist of Petersburg-Concert. The album features compositions for clarinet and piano by composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Many of the pieces are not that well known to today's Russian listeners. Sergey Taneyev's Canzona, Claude Debussy's Rapsodie, sonatas by Alexander Grechaninov, Francis Poulenc and Paul Hindemith demonstrate extensive performing and expressive skills of the young musicians. The recording was made at a concert of the Mariinsky Theatre in 2012. |
