About this product
Anna Vinnitskaya celebrates dance, or rather the dances of composers from very different periods and styles Ravel, Shostakovich and Widmann. 'In all these works, you can feel in some way transported to the world of childhood. Because I believe the childhoods of each of these three composers are reflected there', says the pianist. In his Valses nobles et sentimentales, Ravel paid tribute to Schubert. A few years later, he transcribed for solo piano his ballet score La Valse, in which 'billowing clouds part from time to time, allowing us to glimpse waltzing couples'. Shostakovich's Dances of the Dolls make me think of the Soviet cartoons of my childhood', says Anna Vinnitskaya. 'They also remind me of Mozart they are as bright as diamonds, sincere and beautiful.' The Zirkustänze (Circus Dances) composed by Jörg Widmann in 2012, a brilliant kaleidoscope of emotions and parodies, round off the programme.

The pianist Anna Vinnitskaya has built up an impressive discography since her victory at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2007 Bach, Brahms, Ravel, and of course the Russian composers with whom she has been familiar since her childhood in Novorossiysk, then her studies with Evgeni Koroliov. She has now made her first Chopin recording, coupling the four Ballades, a cross between the miniature and the sonata, with the four Impromptus he composed at different periods of his life, between 1835 and 1842. Anna Vinnitskaya was born in the Russian city of Novorossijsk. She was a student of Sergei Ossipienko in Rostov and Evgenyi Koroliov at the Hamburg conservatoire. Since 2009 she has been a professor there herself - that is, when she is not touring the stages of the wide musical world.

(10% DISOUNT THRU 10-19-12) Neo-Progressive Rock from Sweden. Under the Psycamore is Stockholm-based duo Jonathan Greiff and Carl Blomqvist. Their debut InchIInch is a powerhouse of heavy guitars and soaring vocal harmonies. Alluding to the traditions of Yes and TOOL, InchIInch stays true to their Scandinavian roots while pulling out all the stops. A web search for design ideas brought them to the attention of King Crimson's Trey Gunn. Their initial recordings so excited Gunn that he immediately contacted the group about working together with his tag, 7d Media. Gunn says, InchPsycamore is an explosion of gorgeous voices and super heavy instrumentation.Inch
