Subcollection: PianoScriabin and Rachmaninov - Two Poles of the Russian Silver Age
They were contemporaries and friends, yet their musical languages are two entirely different universes. Rachmaninov remained faithful to classical forms, a rich pianistic texture, and sweeping lyricism, while Scriabin from the very beginning sought a path inward - through the subtlest inflection, the finest gradations of half-tones, and the very breath of silence. The miniatures of early Scriabin, especially the preludes inspired by Chopin and Schumann, are filled with intimate, fragile poetry.
And yet, despite their differences, the music of Rachmaninov and Scriabin is united by the spirit of late Romanticism, by the longing for a departing era, and by the sense of ultimate expressiveness.
For pianist and composer Alexey Chernov, this program is not merely a meeting with two great names, but a personal dialogue with archetypes. He appears not so much as a performer but as an interpreter, building his own path between these worlds - from the preludes to the great sonata, and finally to a “meta-transcription,” in which the Romantic past becomes a memory.

This DVD of a specially recorded recital features the beautiful young Russian pianist, Valentina Igoshina performing much of the music contained in Tony Palmer’s classic film: The Strange Case of Delfina Potocka - The Mystery of Chopin.
Igoshina is an internationally acclaimed pianist who is best known for her interpretations of Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She has appeared as a soloist with many famous orchestras including the Royal Concertegebouw Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Hallé.
In an article in Gramophone (September, 2008) "Chopin Reprogrammed and a Vital Young Russian Relishes the Task," Bryce Morrison said “she relishes every aspect of Chopin's enchanting urbanity, his alternating exuberance and introspection, his light and shade." Her recording “Chopin: Complete Waltzes” was chosen by Classic FM magazine as its November 2008 ‘Disc of the Month’. |

Reissue of director Tony Palmer’s 1999 feature film.
In 1945, the new Polish Government asked for the heart of Chopin previously buried in Paris. A woman called Paulina Czernika approached the Polish Government claiming to have some love letters from the composer to her greatgrandmother, the Countess Delfina Potocka. Eventually alarmed, the Ministry began a witch-hunt against Madame Czernika - Delfina Potocka was the only woman to whom Chopin had dedicated any music - these letters were said to be pornographic, anti-Semitic and thoroughly damaging to the image of the composer as a Polish hero. Czernika ‘committed suicide’ on 17th October 1949, 100 years to the day after the death of Chopin - or was she murdered, and if so, why? Were the letters in fact forgeries? And what was the truth about Delfina Potocka?
Tony Palmer’s dramatised film tells the story of Czernika Potocka, probing a veritable mystery in a series of parallel scenes from 1945 and 1845. New light is shed on Chopin himself, not least in the interpretation of the music brought to life miraculously by the beautiful young Russian pianist, Valentina Igoshina. |

James Rhodes (piano)
With childhood abuse, drug addiction and suicide attempts behind him, James is not your typical concert pianist but with his passion and rock-star aura, he is bringing new audiences to classical piano. In 'Piano Man', James plays the music of his favourite composers, including Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, many of whom had, like James, troubled lives. In this highly personal collection, James explains how they’ve given him solace in his darkest moments and why we should all be listening. With stunning solo piano performances and witty insight into these lives 'Piano Man' is an exciting and radical new approach.

Subcollection: Film MusicCollections is a unique combination of Michael Nyman’s work as a composer, filmmaker and photographer. Available now in a Box set with a luxurious 52 page hard back photo book, a digipack containing a CD, DVD and additional booklet notes written specially by Michael.
CINE OPERA
A specially commissioned combination of Michael Nyman’s photographic output.
Made up of photos taken over the last five years, the book is built around photographs taken in 2010 at the Teatro Cine Opera in Mexico City. The building, built in the 1940s, is now in a state of total disrepair but Michael’s obsession with the building and the sense of combined beauty and loss, led him to take the name CINE OPERA and use it as the title for the complete collection of his visual images.
