Alexander Melnikov (piano) Alternating the roles of soloist and accompanist,Alexander
Melnikov has brought together here two works emblematic of
Rachmaninov at his creative peak, before it was brutally
interrupted by the sound and the fury of 1917: the famous
Études-tableaux Op.39 and Six Poems Op.38 were followed by a
very long silence. In 1931, it was a broken man who produced the Variations on a Theme by Corelli, a bitter work
that yearns for a past long gone.
The coloratura soprano Elena Brilova studied with Nina Dorliac at the Moscow Conservatory. In 1985 she
won first prize at the international singing competition in Holland and has since sung at the Bolshoi, the Vienna
State Opera, La Scala, Düsseldorf from 1998 to 2005 and in Japan, China,Taiwan and Israel. She has worked
with Alexander Melnikov for many years, exploring the Russian song repertoire from Glinka to Shostakovich.
Alexander Melnikov’s CDs for harmonia mundi include a Scriabin recital and acclaimed collaborations with
Isabelle Faust and Jean-Guihen Queyras. Since 2002 he has taught at the RNCM. “Melnikov shows unerring judgement in programming and execution. Melnikov's partnership with soprano Elena Brilova in the near-contemporary songs written for the dazzling Nina Koshetz… surely touch new heights in the art of the recital duo. …this opulently recorded Rachmaninov disc is essential.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** “This stunning disc is finely recorded and makes you look forward to a further balance of songs and piano music from both these remarkable artists.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
