Subcollection: PianoThis album features names that are virtually unknown to today’s wide audience - Gavriil Popov, Vladimir Rebikov and Samuil Feinberg. For the first time on record, Melodiya presents Grand Suite by Gavriil Popov, one of the most talented representatives of “avant-garde Soviet music” of the 1920’s to the early 1930’s. Vladimir Rebikov was one of the first representatives of Russian music modernism. His piano cycle On the Other Side was inspired by the works of Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Samuil Feinberg is known first of all as a prominent pianist, educator and successor to the traditions of the Russian piano school. Nevertheless, he regarded himself as, first and foremost, a composer and heir to Alexander Scriabin’s creative aspirations. The album also includes works by Prokofiev and Shostakovich. A prize-winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels, one of the world’s most prestigious tournaments, Yury Favorin graduated from the Moscow Conservatory under professor Mikhail Voskresensky. The young musician gives special attention to contemporary and rarely performed music. The programmes of his performances are noted for their careful structure. |

Subcollection: PianoFans of the musician who is known as a genre-breaking composer, performer and ardent propagandist of the most radical styles of contemporary music, may find this album surprising.
Beethoven, Chopin, Scriabin, Prokofiev and, of course, Tchaikovsky are performed by the 20-year old student of the Moscow Conservatory who was not admitted to the final round of the prestigious contest but was awarded an important prize: “for best performance of Tchaikovsky’s music.”
Even then the young musician, one of the most promising pianists from Tatiana Nikolayeva’s class, was confident of his propensities. A lover of 20th century music, including that written by his contemporaries, he interprets Beethoven, Scriabin and Prokofiev with youthful enthusiasm void of academic clichés. As Anton Batagov admitted, Tchaikovsky’s music was something that he had to struggle with. Only when he was preparing for the competition, he came to realize the depth of the Russian music genius - “as an extremely lonely and extremely closed man who had an infinitely subtle perception of the world... as a man to whom life was, first of all, an impossibility of happiness.” And at the same time, a man of “absolute harmony and fabulous beauty.” These recordings made 30 years ago during the first two rounds of the VIII Tchaikovsky International Competition are released for the first time. |

Subcollection: PianoFirma Melodiya presents a recording of two-piano transcriptions by Franz Liszt and Camille Saint-Saëns performed by the piano duet of Ludmila Berlinskaya and Arthur Ancelle.
“The unity of beautiful souls,” wrote foreign reviewers about the duet. Representatives of famous artistic dynasties (Berlinskaya is a daughter of Valentin Berlinsky, an outstanding cellist, professor and founding member of the Borodin Quartet; Ancelle is a great grandson of the legendary opera diva Fanny Heldy, a grandson of a ballerina and a son of a theatre director) and alumni of different music performing traditions, they began to jointly perform in 2011 and have won the listeners’ hearts in Russia, France and Switzerland. Their joint debut album with Tchaikovsky’s music was highly acclaimed by BBC Music Magazine.
The programme of this album combines two, at first glance, completely different pianistic styles of the 19th century - Liszt and Saint-Saëns. However, the two great musicians took a genuine interest in each other’s works that was expressed in “mutual” transcriptions. Liszt unintentionally introduced the powerful current of his personality into his arrangements. The Dance of Death is an obvious example that makes the comparison between the two piano versions of this symphonic work, one transcribed by Liszt and the other transcribed by the author, even more interesting. On the other way around, a hint of Saint-Saëns is heard in his transcription of Liszt’s B minor Sonata he made for himself and his friend and outstanding French pianist Louis Diémer. The album also includes Liszt’s Après une Lecture de Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata arranged for two pianos by Arthur Ancelle. |

Subcollection: PianoFirma Melodiya presents a new CD of the renowned Russian pianist Irina Chukovskaya (Petrova) dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the 20th century classic Dmitri Shostakovich.
“Irina Chukovskaya is a pianist of a bright talent. Her performance is attractive because of its outstanding virtuosity, sonic culture and genuine artistry.
Different musical styles and directions are within her power,” Mstislav Rostropovich once described Chukovskaya’s art. An alumna of the central Music School and the Moscow Conservatory, a student of Vera Gornostayeva and Stanislav Neuhaus, and a winner of the 1980 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, Irina Chukovskaya is now a professor of the Russian Gnessins Music Academy and one of the best representatives of the Neuhaus school in today’s musical and performing art and piano pedagogy.
The pianist has performed at the largest concert venues of Russia, Europe and Asia. She is particularly well-known in the United States where she has played over 500 recitals. Chukovskaya has been a long-time collaborator of the
conductor Maxim Shostakovich. “I have performed with Irina Chukovskaya on repeated occasions and witnessed her significant artistic achievements,” the musician tells. “This recording of my father’s works is among them. She renders the poignant tragicalness of the images of the sonata, flexible fickleness of the moods of the preludes and paradoxical eccentricity of the Aphorisms with conquering convincingness.”
The disc features Dmitri Shostakovich’s most significant works for solo piano - Aphorisms, and early experimental cycle written in 1927, the well-known 24 Preludes for piano (1932-1933) and Sonata No. 2 for piano (1943), one of the large-scale works of the war period dedicated to memory of Leonid Nikolayev, Shostakovich’s teacher and one of the founders of the Soviet piano school. |
