The tour starts in Uzbekistan, of which there are later glimpses. There is a visit to the historic Russian town of Suzdal and scenes from St Petersburg as well as from Ukraine. It would be impossible to avoid the Russian winter, which appears in various guises, providing entertainment for some and for others a seemingly enchanted snow-bound landscape. The final release in the Naxos Seattle Collection pairs two youthful masterpieces. Extremely well received recordings when first issued on Delos. |

“This set offers music of a rare expressive quality. The German radio sound engineers certainly knew what they were doing because having undergone re-mastering the recordings are crystal clear and splendidly balanced. The full bodied-impact of the climaxes is stunningly conveyed...No Wand supporter should hesitate with this set nor for that matter should any lover of Romantic music.” MusicWeb International, April 2013 | |

| |  | Alexander Ghindin plays Stravinsky, Rachmaninov & Tchaikovsky
Alexander Ghindin (piano) A full-blooded Russian programme played by one of Russia’s foremost pianists, Alexander Ghindin. Stravinsky’s burleske of the tragic puppet Pétrouchka, a display of dazzling virtuosity and imagination, Rachmaninov’s passionate and wistful tone poems, and the grand scope and bravura of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Sonata. Alexander Ghindin has won prizes in International competitions including: Queen Elizabeth (2nd prize), Cleveland Piano Competition (1st prize). He plays all over the world with distinguished orchestras and conductors (Slatkin, Inbal, Spivakov, Ashkenazy, KitaenkO, Fedoseyev, Simonov). “His Petrushka is novel and exploratory, leaving you with a sharp sense of the original ballet, its alternating exultance and despair, rather than mere virtuoso glory. Nothing is played for obvious effect and the same could be said of his Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky...Piano Classics's sound is admirable and this is clearly a pianist in the grandest of grand traditions.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013 “At its best, the enthusiasm of Ghindin's playing is hard to resist, and Tchaikovsky's huge Sonata doesn't appear on disc so often that a performance with such sweep and grandeur can be easily ignored. Not everything comes off, but it's worth hearing when it does.” The Guardian, 25th October 2012 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
