Lilya Zilberstein (piano)

As a favourite piano partner of Martha Argerich, Lilya Zilberstein is earning many accolades for her performances around the world. Here is a rare and early recital she recorded for DG of both popular and lesser-known Liszt fare, including the famous Legend St Francis of Paola walking on the water and the confiding six Consolations.

“This richly varied recital shows Liszt in many guises: as religious visionary, prophet, lyricist and epic teller of tales. And Lilya Zilberstein, an imperious virtuoso to say the least, is fully equal to the many and various challenges. Her all-Russian command can be properly engulfing in the rhetorical storms of the Fantasia and Fugue on the name B-A-C-H , particularly when, as John Ogdon so aptly put it, the music appears capable of carrying the very heavens on its back” Gramophone Magazine

Margarita Glebov (piano)

This CD presents a selection of the less performed impromptus that span a period of nearly two centuries. Four of the works have been recorded for the first time and are by Godowsky, Bibalo, Volaj and Mazhara. The works by Volaj and Mazhara were commissioned by Margarita Glebov for this project.

“an impressive and sympathetically recorded calling-card from a Russian-American pianist who dares to be different - and three cheers for that. Her expressive range and complete empathy with each composer represented here make one hope for more from her.” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010

“Throughout her highly diverse programme, she is in complete command of every element. Her attention to clarity and tonal values is particularly noteworthy, and she summons appropriate bravura for the demanding Balakirev and Moszowski selections...An auspicious debut” International Record Review

Totentanz, S525 for solo piano


“Arnaldo Cohen is as poetically and imaginatively intrepid as he's technically coruscating, and all these performances offer refinement and ferocity in equal proportion. Few pianists could identify or engage so closely with music that hovers on the edge of silence or extinction (Nuages gris, La lugubre gondola Nos-1 and 2), or that sparks and sports with a truly devilish intent (Danse macabre, Totentanz and so on). In the Danse macabre the music emerges from Cohen's fingers supercharged with malevolence. On the other hand he can send the F sharp Impromptu spiralling into a true sense of its ecstasy, or momentarily inflect Nuages gris in a manner that accentuates rather than detracts from its abstraction and economy. He makes something frighteningly bleak out of Unstern (or 'Evil Star'), with its savagely dissonant climax and its unresolved hymnal solace, yet is no less at home in Réminiscencesdes Huguenots, dismissing ambuscades of treacherous skips, octaves and every other technical terror with a telling mix of verve and nonchalance.
These, then, are performances of rare lucidity, virtuoso voltage and trenchancy, and all quite excellently recorded.”
