| |  | Alexis Weissenberg - The SIGI RecordingsRecorded 1949-55
plus: PADRE SOLER: Three Sonatas: 1: D minor; 2: D major; 3: C# minor
These recordings date from Alexis ‘Sigi’ Weissenberg’s graduation from the Juilliard School and prior to his lengthy sabbatical. As such they offer an extremely rare opportunity to hear a varied programme from a pianist who polarised opinion but never failed to pack the concert hall. “This splendid collection of early Weissenberg recordings captures his big personality in expansive repertoire, notably Prokofiev, Haydn and Liszt. The poor sound proves frustrating.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2013 **** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

“Incandescent, fleet-fingered historic performances from the mid-1950s, whose quicksilver emotional reflexes (generously pedalled) mirror exactly the music's neurotic restlessness and pulverising indomitability.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2011 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.

| |  | Russian Music for Cello & Piano
Wendy Warner (cello) & Irina Nuzova (piano) The WarnerNuzova duo — cellist Wendy Warner and pianist Irina Nuzova — makes its recording debut with five late-Romantic Russian works on an album dedicated to the memory of one of Warner’s mentors, the illustrious Russian cellist, composer, and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich (1927–2007). Fittingly, two of the pieces were originally written for Rostropovich: Nikolai Miaskovsky’s rarely heard Sonata No. 2 in A Minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 81; and Alfred Schnittke’s Baroque-inspired Musica nostalgica, for violoncello and piano. This is the first American recording of Miaskovsky’s mellifluous Sonata No. 2, a work that’s rarely performed outside of Russia. It will be a discovery for most listeners. Alexander Scriabin’s Etude Op. 8, No. 11, is a beautiful encore piece brimming with chromatic harmonies; Sergei Prokofiev’s Adagio from Ten Pieces from Cinderella, Op. 97b, is based on a duet from his ballet; and Sergei Rachmaninov’s Sonata in G Minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19, is a riveting four-movement work from the same period as his Second Piano Concerto. “Warner is a warm, confident and lyrical player who allows the narrative of the music to unfold like a well-told story - a skill that can only come from having real insight into the architecture and soul of this music.” Classic FM Magazine, November 2010 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
