New Russian Piano Music volumes coming soon

Posted by Divine Art Recording Group on

The many fans of our Russian Piano Music series may be wondering what new additions will be coming in the future, as it is 18 months or so since the last volume (12) was released. The good news is that preparations are well under way for three more instalments in the series, all featuring the work of well known composers. Alfonso Soldano (whose Bortkiewicz CD was very well reviewed) will play music by Tchaikovsky (vol. 13) and Rachmaninov (vol. 14) while another very fine young Italian pianist, Stefania Argentieri, presents an album of music by Prokofiev. The three new albums are likely to be available from the summer of 2019.

Out now on all platforms ▶️ listn.fm/becausetheyhavesongs “This monumental piano release features Michael Finnissy’s Verdi Transcriptions plus English Country-Tunes, and other compositions inspired by 19th century music. Soloist Ian Pace is a leading interpreter of Finnissy’s work, and has played his complete output for piano. Finnissy’s output is prolific, political and complex – he’s a leading late modernist.… luxuriant but challenging textures of the school often called new complexity.” —Andy Hamilton, The Wire Marvelous new MusicWeb International review for Edward Cowie: Because They Have Songs, before its release this Friday! “Buller is a composer who knows how to imbue feelings with ample warmth, colour and tension that keep the ear immersed in his sonic worlds. The musical language is largely tonal, with some roots in sacred choral traditions, yet with sufficient harmonic pungency to provide underpinnings of meaning to Leah Lax’s empathetic, urgent texts in the two extended works.… Conspirare, led by founding Artistic Director Craig Hella Johnson, respond to all of Buller’s emotional gestures with utmost cohesion and flexibility, and the soloists – basses Michael Hawes and Simon Barrad and soprano Emily Yocum Black – are first-rate.” —Donald Rosenberg, @gramophonemagazine
