Subcollection: PianoAnthology of Piano Music by Russian and Soviet Composers
Part 3 Disc 1: Before 1917
This eighth disc of the Anthology of Russian Piano Music is dedicated to the roots of Russian piano school and encompasses the first hundred years of its development in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The acknowledged Russian classical composers Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Taneyev and Lyadov are here (represented with rarely performed works though), along with little known or now completely forgotten composers such as Rubinstein, Rebikov and Arensky.
A unique journey across the pages of lyrical and dramatic traditions of Russian pianism allows us to see how general European trends of piano music were combined with national attributes of domestic culture. Taneyev’s Prelude and Fugue in G sharp minor is a climax of the album - a grandiose polyphonic cycle, one of the peaks of Russian music of the pre-revolution period.
The works of the Russian composers are performed by young pianists - graduates of the Moscow Conservatory and prize-winners of prestigious international competitions, who are worthy representatives of a new generation of Russian music performing school - Vyacheslav Gryaznov, Alexei Chernov, Mikhail Turpanov, Rustam Khanmurzin and Nikita Mndoyants.

Mazurkas
Subcollection: PianoFirma Melodiya presents an album of mazurkas composed by Alexander Scriabin and performed by Samuil Feinberg.
Samuil Feinberg’s artistic career was a remarkable phenomenon of 20th century domestic music life. A pianist, distinctive composer and educator who created his own performing school, he showed his worth in each of these roles, being notable for the integrity of his personality and creative aspirations. In 1911, when he was about to graduate from the Moscow Conservatory, he struck the examination board with the scope of his repertoire and depth of his interpretations. Samuil Feinberg made his last recordings not long before his death in the early 1960s.
The musician’s performing interests were truly grandiose, but as a composer and performer, Feinberg was close to Scriabin and to the feel of his music. When the author of 'The Poem of Ecstasy' heard young Feinberg play, he fully appreciated his pianistic art.
The pianist’s peculiar techniques of phonation noted by his contemporaries - “the way he moves his fingers, never striking, as if fondling the keys, a transparent and at times velvety tone of his instrument, contrasting sounds, finesse of his rhythmic patterns” - were to a degree an extension of Scriabin’s tradition. Samuil Feinberg’s repertoire included all piano sonatas and most of the small scale compositions by Scriabin.
These recordings of nineteen mazurkas, Op.3 and Op.25, from Scriabin’s early period were made in the 1950s.
Scriabin:
Ten Mazurkas, Op. 3
Nine Mazurkas, Op. 25

Subcollection: PianoFirma Melodiya presents the first part of the anthology 'Piano Duet' featuring Elena Sorokina and Alexander Bakhchiyev.
The ensemble of two remarkable musicians, professors of the Moscow Conservatory - Honoured Art Worker of Russia Elena Sorokina and People’s Artist of Russia Alexander Bakhchiyev - was formed in 1968. For more than thirty years they jointly performed in Russia and around the world. In fact, the duet of Sorokina and Bakhchiyev revived the culture of piano duet which used to be so popular in Russia. They have performed more than a hundred compositions of the genre (many of them were premieres in this country) and been recognized as a 'Golden duet of Russia'.
“Their emergence on stage is always a feast of music, joy and beauty”, wrote Leonid Zhivov, a pianist and professor of the Moscow Conservatory.
This disc is dedicated to four hand piano compositions from the period of German romanticism and, along with unpretentious pieces 'for home playing', includes deeply dramatic ones. So, you will hear Schubert’s virtuosic and romantic Fantasia along with his Waltzes and Polonaises, Brahms’ Hungarian Dances, Schumann’s very distinctive Gespenstermarchen and waltzes by Joseph Lanner, a very popular Austrian composer in his time who initiated the era of Viennese waltz - his music very much anticipated the Strauss dynasty.
The recordings were made between 1974 and 1990.
Brahms:
Hungarian Dances (excerpts)
Waltzes (16), Op. 39, extracts
Five Waltzes
Lanner:
Waltzes Hymens Feierklänge, Op. 115
Schubert:
Fantasie in F minor for piano duet, D940

Subcollection: PianoFirma Melodiya presents an album of piano music by contemporary Russian composers performed by Lukas Geniušas, a prize-winner of the XV International Tchaikovsky Competition.
The young pianist is one of the brightest musical talents of today. A student of Vera Gornostayeva, he is a worthy continuer of the great traditions of domestic piano art that date back to the time of Heinrich Neuhaus. At his age of 25, he is an owner of numerous prestigious international awards, including silver medals of two of Europe’s renowned piano tournaments - the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw (2011) and the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (2015). Critics have noted the maturity and depth of the pianist’s art, and the convincingness of his renditions of pieces written in different ages - from Handel to Hindemith. Geniušas’s recordings have been released on NIFC, Art Classic, DUX and Piano Classics. The Fryderyk Chopin Institute previously released a double album of his Chopin recordings, and the Moscow Conservatory released a live recording of the pianist’s recital dedicated to Rachmaninoff’s anniversary.
This time Lukas Geniušas presents piano cycles of today’s Russian composers - Leonid Desyatnikov, Valery Arzumanov and Vladimir Ryabov. The featured works were composed in the second half of the 1980s in the vein of the aesthetics of the “new simplicity.” At the same time the music captures a complicated era of total reappraisal of values that was going on in those years in the life and arts of this country. The pianist also provides commentary on the programme of the album. |

Subcollection: PianoThe album was inspired by the works of Alexander Scriabin who takes a special place in Ludmila Berlinskaya's life. According to the pianist, this collection is built on the principle of evolution, and this evolution is for the listener. It showcases the progress of Scriabin's music - from the Preludes, Op. 11, to the poem Toward the Flame, Op. 72. The Two Preludes written under the influence of the music of Alexander Scriabin and the future poet, novelist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Boris Pasternak are of particular interest, while the Four Preludes, moving compositions by young Julian Scriabin, show natural bent of a future great composer. |
