About this product

The music and teaching of Juozas Gruodis (1884-1948) laid the foundations for a national school of composition in Lithuania in the first half of the twentieth century, with his style absorbing influences from both east and west - Rachmaninoff, Skryabin, Chopin, Debussy, Reger, Strauss - and from Lithuanian folk-music. Though the piano works heard here were composed within a span of only eight years, they show considerable variety, from the poised to the passionate and powerful, all expressed with full-bodied late-Romantic virtuosity and verve.

Oxana Shevchenko - Complete Works for Cello & Piano   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The beautiful, lyrical music of prolific 19th-century Swiss composer Joachim Raff was widely performed during his lifetime but is relatively under-represented today. Who better than Christoph Croisé, Raff's modern day compatriot, to breathe new life into the composer's complete works for cello and piano. Raff's chamber music, and especially his works for cello, were among his most notable achievements. Having established a career in Germany in the mid-1850's, Raff encountered the eminent cellist Bernhard Cossman whose mastery of the instrument inspired the composer's rich Romantic oeuvre. Christoph, who has Inchgot it all - technical chops, impeccable musicianshipInch (Gramophone), puts a fresh, 21st-century spin on Raff's memorable music resulting in this benchmark recording.
