Anna Fedorova - Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto Nos. 2 & 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Early recordings by one of today's pre-eminent interpreters of Rachmaninoff. The Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova is renowned for her playing of Rachmaninoff, and in particular the four concertos which she has performed across the world. She made these recordings in 2014, at a relatively early stage in her career, but they capture the rhythmic flexibility and feeling for phrase and emotion which give her interpretation of this music it's particular signature. The sound of bells recurs throughout Rachmaninov's output, including the Second Concerto, even in the intimate exchanges of the finale. 'Those passages can convey tremendous mystery,' Fedorova explained to Peter Quantrill in a Pianist magazine interview, 'if they are played in a slightly detached fashion. I'm looking for a feeling of being slightly lost - not in the notes of the music, but in the mood it creates. The sound should be even, and so should the pulse, but you can't find the ground under your feet. That's the atmosphere I want.' In these familiar works, Fedorova searches for simplicity over sentimentality, because 'simplicity can be more moving. Or if you have a special harmonic moment in a long phrase, you lead into it without too many distractions on the way. Then the surprise - the resolution or the twist - is all the more special. You have to train yourself to do this.' On the page, both works bely their strong melodic flow with densely worked, filigree exchanges between piano and orchestra which demand as much analytical and technical grasp of the notes as the concertos of Brahms. Rachmaninoff himself famously let his emotions speak through his music, which can be all the more moving for it's restraint and close observance to the score, and Fedorova has spent decades with these concertos, absorbing them within her musical bloodstream so that their expressions of passion and nostalgia come as second

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
