About this product
This final volume in Nicholas Walker's much-admired survey of the complete solo piano music of Balakirev includes the composer's famous work for piano, Islamey, an exotic and ultra-virtuoso oriental tale. Also featured are previously unpublished and unrecorded miniatures - pieces that are both poetic and, in the case of the Elegy on the Death of a Mosquito, witty. Transcriptions of Glinka are included, and Walker has arranged Balakirev's passionate and sensual symphonic poem Tamara for solo piano, recreating textures redolent of the composer's own piano style. He also plays Au Jardin, an Idyll-Étude of rapt beauty and tenderness. Album Tracks 1. Fileuse (The Spinner) 2. Au Jardin (In the Garden) - Idyll-Étude 3. Kamarinskaya 4. Tamara 5. Polka in F Sharp minor 6. Elegy on the Death of a Mosquito 7. Danse de Sorcières (Witches Dance) 8. Ne Govori Lyubov' Proydyot (Do Not Say Love Passes Away) 9. Tyrolienne 10. Rêverie 11.

Germaine Tailleferre is best known for being the only female member of the French group of composers known as Les Six, and her stylish combination of neo-Classicism with a ready wit and energy can be compared to Poulenc and Milhaud. From the captivating Romance written while still a student, to her sparkling music for the 1937 Paris international exhibition, all of these pieces show Tailleferre as being very much at the heart of the contemporary French musical scene. This recording, described by the composer's granddaughter as being 'as though Tailleferre herself was performing these works', is the first of three volumes presenting the complete piano music played by Nicolas Horvath. Album Tracks 1. Exercice D'harmonie (Chant Donné Par Florent Schmitt) 2. Impromptu in E Major 3. Romance in a Major 4. Pas Trop Vite 5. Pastorale in D Major 6. Fandango for Piano 7. Hommage À Debussy 8. TRÈS Vite 9. Petites Ouvertures D'airs Anciens (Transcription Et Réalisation de la Basse Continue) 10. Sous Le Rempart D'athènes (Version for Piano) 11. Sicilienne 12.
