Subcollection: Piano and CelloFirma Melodiya presents recordings of 20th century cello music performed by Oleg Vedernikov and Alexey Goribol.
The name of Alexey Goribol, a pianist, public figure, Honoured Artist of Russia and organizer of numerous festivals and music projects is well known to the domestic and foreign listeners, while the name of Oleg Vedernikov whose life ended up so tragically in 2015 is less known to a wide audience. This album is dedicated to the memory of the remarkable cellist.
A graduate of the Ural Conservatory in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), Oleg Vedernikov won a silver medal of the 2nd All-Union cello Competition in Yaroslavl in 1988. Then he took a graduate course at the Moscow Conservatory with Natalia Shakhovskaya and was one of her favourite students. Together with Alexey Goribol Vedernikov won the first prize at the chamber competition in Trapani, Italy.
This recording was made in 1993 when Oleg Vedernikov’s performance, in his peers’ opinion, was on top of cello art. The cellist and the pianist make a brilliant ensemble unveiling the entire contradiction and figurative wealth of contemporary music. It was the first joint work to both of the musicians, and it was followed by many years of fruitful artistic partnership.
The album features cello sonatas by Dmitri Shostakovich and Alfred Schnittke, and works by Leonid Desyatnikov and Rodion Shchedrin. |

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. |

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. |
