Anthology of Piano Music by Russian and Soviet Composers
Part 2 Disc 1: 1917-1991
Continuing their series, Melodiya presents Volume 5 of their Anthology of Piano Music by Russian and Soviet Composers.
Another release of the Anthology of Piano Music by Russian and Soviet Composers features works of the late 1950s and the first half of the 1970s by composers of ‘traditional’ school. Nevertheless, the listeners will find a lot of real surprises on this disc. It opens with a once famous Rondo by Dmitri Kobalevsky he composed for the First Tchaikovsky International Competition as an obligatory programme for the pianists in the second round. Alemdar Karamanov’s naïve and romantic Variations showcase his music from a peculiar angle while he is better known as an author of monumental biblical symphonies. The piano sonatas by two prominent representatives of the Leningrad composing school Boris Tishchenko and Boris Arapov are true gems of this release. They are complimented with compositions by the authors from the former Soviet republics such as Mikhail Skorik (Ukraine) and Yuri Nikolayev (Uzbekistan). |

Brahms:
Waltzes (16), Op. 39
Piazzólla: arr. Bax & Chung
Lo que vendra
Milonga del ángel
Tango No. 2
Libertango
Stravinsky:
Petrushka
The real life marriage of two great concert pianists, Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung, has led to one of the leading piano duos of their generation. To cite the UK magazine Music and Arts, “Theirs is a marriage of wondrous colours and dextrous aplomb, subtly balanced to make a musical performance sound as one.”
Stavinsky’s Pétrouchka was originally arranged for four-hands by the composer as a rehearsal score for the Ballet Russes production of the same name, but in this stripped-down it brings Stravinsky’s melodic, rhythmic and harmonic inventiveness to the fore. Brahms’s 16 Waltzes Op.39 are an enchanting collection of Romantic miniatures that simultaneously nod to the musical lineage of the composer’s home in Vienna whilst asserting his own flair and individuality. The final four tangos by Piazzolla are a full of Argentine flair and vigour, and were arranged especially for this recording by Bax and Chung. |

Glinka created piano pieces all his life. Be it variations on his own or other composers’ themes, or tiny yet elegant miniatures in various dance genres, they all amaze us with their extraordinary finesse and skillfullness requiring the performer’s skills to match. The creative work of pianist Valeri Konstantinovich Kamyshov invariably won his listeners. “I have always admired Valeri Kamyshov for his love for art and noble sense of beauty. He has plenty of musical ideas and unique virtuosity,” said Yakov Flier whose class the pianist graduated from the Moscow Conservatory (1966) and whose post-graduate student he was until 1968. Valeri Kamyshov’s career was distinguished with high awards such as the second prize of All- Union Competition in 1961, the fifth prize of the Tchaikovsky Competition in 1962, and the second prize of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels in 1968. |

Franck, C:
Symphonic Variations for piano & orchestra, M46
Goss, S:
Piano Concerto
Saint-Saëns:
Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 22
Emmanuel Despax is a rising star on the UK and international piano scene, who has performed at the Wigmore and Cadogan Halls in London, the Salle Gaveau and Louvre Auditorium in Paris, and with orchestras including the CBSO.
His debut concerto recording, with the Orpheus Sinfonia under Thomas Carroll, features the premiere recording of Stephen Goss’s Piano Concerto, inspired by the designs of Thomas Heatherwick (the work’s premiere performance was the first classical concert in which audiences were invited to bring their ipads and tablets, to watch an interactive display designed to accompany the music). The work is accompanied by two similarly expressive and characterful works, Saint-Saëns’ ever-popular Piano Concerto No.2 and Franck’s Variations symphoniques. |

Alexander Jocheles won a prize at the Second Frederic Chopin Pianists’ Competition in Warsaw in 1932. However his fame as a pianist was ensured by the Second Prize won him in the First All-Union Competition for Musicians-Performers.
Alexander Jocheles had a preference for a broad repertoire which included numerous compositions that were rarely heard in performance by Soviet pianists of his time: from his own editions of Jean Philippe Rameau’s concertos and the rarely performed one-movement Concerto in D major by Ludwig van Beethoven to Claude Debussy’s Fantasy, Arthur Honegger’s Concertino and Francis Poulenc’s “Rhapsody Negre” - compositions which he presented to his country’s public for the first time.
Jocheles is well-known as having made a number of his own transcriptions - for instance, in 1947 he performed Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” Sonata N. 29 (opus 106) in transcription for piano and orchestra. In Jocheles’ concerts and recitals his transcriptions of Bach’s, Handel’s and Gluck’s music took up halves of concerts. Alexander Lvovich pertained to the select few pianists who had preserved and developed the tradition of transcriptions. Of special interest is his work on completion and reconstruction of Schubert’s piano sketches.
From 1952 Alexander Lvovich was a professor of the Gnesins’ State Music pedagogical institute.
At the Gnesins’ Institute Jocheles was the initiator of the lengthy cycle of concerts “The History of the Piano Sonata for 300 Years.”
Alexander Jocheles was an outstanding piano pedagogue. His ability to analyze musical compositions, remarkable ingenuity in searching different variants of fingerings, a wealth of knowledge of music history and culture and phenomenal memory made him into a veritably legendary figure.
The “Melody” record company had released three times A. Jocheles’ pedagogical commentaries to the performance of the following works: J.S. Bach’s “Capriccio on the Departure of his Beloved Brother,” Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata N. 17, opus 31, N. 2 and Johannes Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Schumann, which enjoyed popularity among students, pedagogues and fans of the art of piano playing. |

Melodiya presents piano works by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel recorded by the authors.
These unique phonographic documents date back to the 1910s-1920s, when music recording was at its dawn. Following the singers whose voices were so well reproduced by the phonograph, methods of piano music recording were invented. Among the first pianists who put their own interpretations on record were such composers as Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Debussy and Ravel.

Promo Trailer:
“Five sides of fantasy” is a CD presenting pianist Alexander Sonderegger’s point of view on the genre of musical fantasy in the context of different eras and styles. The term “fantasy” has the meaning of “improvisation” or “freedom”, which allowed the five composers included in the repertoire to express themselves through this genre, continually endowing the pieces with new significance. As an outcome, every composer referring to a fantasy is able to operate with its endless potential of creativity in his own way. It creates multiplicity within the central idea of freedom. This exact principle is what became the main motive of Alexander Sonderegger’s program, which developed into a solo CD “Five sides of fantasy”.
