Irina Georgieva started her musical career at the age of six in Sofia, Bulgaria, receiving the first prize in a regional music competition. She gave her first solo concert at the age of eight. Prizes follow from prestigious international competitions. While still a student at the National Academy of Music in Sofia she performed with the philharmonic orchestras of Sofia, Varna, Pleven, Shumen. In 2001 she won a scholarship from the “Gerber ten Bosch” Foundation and continued her studies in Switzerland at the Music Academy of Basel with Rudolf Buchbinder, who states: “Irina Georgieva is one of the most outstanding piano students encountered during my 35 years of teaching. Her excellent sound culture in connection with stupendous technique, instinctive sense of style, strong personality and charisma predict a great pianistic career for Irina Georgieva.” She brilliantly completed the Basel Music Academy (Concert and Soloist Diploma) having played an integral of works by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The pianist has participated in various competitions and has always been among the laureates. She has played in Switzerland, Italy, France, England, Morocco. Her repertoire includes music from the Baroque to the present. This is what the great piano teacher Lazar Berman says about her: “Irina Georgieva is a very talented artist. Her interpretations are always original, her sound is beautiful, her artistic potential boundless.” |

Subcollection: PianoRecorded in 1959 and 1960.
Frédéric Chopin’s etudes are a unique combination of virtuoso technique and artistic supertasks. It is not without reason that no compulsory programme of any international competition can do without them. Each of the etudes is an ‘exercise’ in one of the types of piano technique, while sounding like a bright and image-bearing piece.
The twelve etudes of Op.10 were composed during 1828-1832 and dedicated to Franz Liszt. The twelve etudes of Op.25 were published in 1836. Nearly all pianists of the world have Chopin’s etudes in their repertoire, but only a few of them have the courage to play both of the opuses in their entirety.
Firma Melodiya presents twenty-four etudes by Chopin performed by Vladimir Ashkenazy, one of the greatest pianists of modern times. What makes these recordings especially interesting is that they were made in 1959 by the then 22-year-old pianist. With his world triumphs still ahead (although Ashkenazy had received a second prize at the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw and won the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Brussels), Ashkenazy’s pianism already appears in full possession of virtuosic and artistic mastery.
“The young pianist is not just an owner of phenomenally deft, strong and superbly trained fingers, he also proficiently wields a diverse and beautiful palette of piano sounds”, wrote one of the reviewers in those days.

Subcollection: PianoTrio Fibonacci's debut on NMC also sees the first appearance on the label of James Clarke, whose Piano Trio is joined by solo works for each of the three instruments. Michael Finnissy's Independence Quadrilles allows each line vertical independence from the others, while he has described In stiller Nacht as "an arrangement, or quite possible derangement" of Brahms' German folksong. The disc is completed with Gerald Barry's typically enigmatic In the Asylum. |
