Yana Ivanilova (soprano), Vassily Savenko (bass-baritone) & Boris Berezovsky (piano) As gifted a pianist as Prokofiev, and a composer whom Rachmaninov rated more highly than himself, Nicolaï Medtner (1880-1951) has long been neglected, a victim both of circumstances (the Russian revolution, emigration, war) and of his difficulty in adapting to 1920s Berlin and 1930s Paris, two hotbeds of a modernity that was fundamentally alien to him. This CD gives us a chance to discover the last of the great Romantics, a worthy heir to Chopin and Brahms who celebrated the great poets, both Russian and German, faithful to the double culture of his origins. 17 of Medtner's finest songs are accompanied here by 8 Skazki, literally 'tales' for piano, or ‘poems without words’. Boris Berezovsky is in his element in this repertoire. |

Recorded live at the Philharmonie, Essen, 14 July 2006. Documentary + Performance “Here, surely, we have the truest successor to the great Russian pianists.” (Gramophone) “Berezovsky takes the palm as a curious and magnetic personality. He has fun with the more outlandish of Beethoven's Dianelli Variations before probing the heart of the mystery. His Medtner reveals the composer is indeed Rachmaniov's equal, as Svetlanov once claimed to me in interview.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
