Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: PianoFirma Melodiya presents a set of romantic piano music performed by Vazgen Vartanian.
Vazgen Vartanian is one of the brightest representatives of the new generation of the Russian pianistic school. A graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, he has also studied at the Julliard School in New York where he was conferred the degree of Master of Fine Arts.
At different times, Vartanian was a pupil of such famous masters as Lev Vlassenko, Dmitri Sakharov, Andrey Pisarev and Jerome Lowenthal.
The geography of the pianist’s concerts is vast - he has played at some of the best venues of the world, including Lincoln Center in New York, USA, the Tonhalle in Zurich, Switzerland, the Verdi Milan Conservatoire in Italy, the Seoul Arts Centre in South Korea, and others.
This release features three concert programmes by Vazgen Vartanian, performed at the Big and Small Halls of the Moscow Conservatory, as well as at the concert hall of the Russian Gnessin Music Academy in 2010 and 2011, and dedicated to the 200th anniversaries of three great composers of the romantic period - Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt.

Disc 6 (DVD)
“Geniuses: Vladimir Sofronitsky,”
a film by Andrei Konchalovsky (2007, 44 min.)
Screenplay by Andrei Konchalovsky
Directed by Andrei Konchalovsky
Directors of photography: Igor Ryabtsev, Dmitri Koval, Igor Skromny
Firma Melodiya and the Andrei Konchalovsky Foundation present a unique set dedicated to the outstanding Russian pianist of the 20th century Vladimir Sofronitsky. Sofronitsky who tolerated no clichés strongly objected to the reputation of a Scriabinist although he found his own inimitable key to Scriabin's music at an early age. Those who had a chance to hear the composer play said that only Sofronitsky was congenial to Scriabin's interpretations. With a hostile attitude to studio work, the pianist felt truly free only in concert. He was able to perform the same piece differently even just a few days later. Every time Sofronitsky played, he re-experienced music, let it through himself as if he confessed before the audience. Perhaps that was the main secret of his magical impact. Many of the remaining concert recordings still preserve that sensation. Five of six discs include recordings made at Vladimir Sofronitsky's recitals in 1951 to 1960, including works of Scriabin, Schumann, Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Lyadov, Debussy, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. The sixth disc of the set includes a documentary on Vladimir Sofronitsky filmed by the outstanding contemporary director Andrei Konchalovsky.
