Pizzicato Features the Artyomov Retrospective

Pizzicato gives full marks (♪♪♪♪♪) to the Divine Art Recordings Vyacheslav Artyomov Retrospective with highlights from the recent releases in the series:

“Divine Art’s ongoing series with music by Russian composer Vyacheslav Artyomov comprises several CDs’ of which four are reviewed here. Artyomov’s music is mostly sombre and sorrowful, sometimes with the expression of anxiety. Rooted in the musician’s Christian faith, it is at the same time deep, spiritual and often mystic. It is well worth hearing in these excellent recordings.”

—Remy Franck, Pizzicato

Vyacheslav Artyomov Retrospective

The genius of Artyomov

Following critical acclaim for the two recent albums of Symphonies and other works by Vyacheslav Artyomov (DDA 25143 and 25144) we are working with him on a project to re-issue almost all of the previous recordings of his magnificent music, most of this is being licensed from Melodiya and we hope to conclude the paperwork on the deal very soon. There should be material for seven albums – one actually includes new recordings (of ‘Sola Fide’ a ballet suite) while the re-issued recordings will be issued on the mid price Diversions label – we hope to schedule these for release over next spring and summer. At the same time plans are in hand for another new album… of which more news soon.
