Description
‘Nowhere are there so many little- known, unsung and unknown figures as in the realm of music. An entire lifetime would not suffice us, were we to undertake to rehabilitate this obscure horde of neglected composers, to gain recognition for these treasures abandoned in the night of ignorance.’ – Vladimir Jankélévitch
Like Liszt’s Douze Études d’exécution transcendante, which Lyapunov revered, these visionary and colourful works, sometimes steeped in Russian folklore, require the performer to possess technical prowess and poetic sensibility in equal measure.
Florian Noack overcomes their countless difficulties with magnificent brio and exemplary musicality.
