This is the fourth CD in the “Transfigured” series featuring South African pianist Petronel Malan. She received a Grammy nomination for the first in the series, “Transfigured Bach” (HAEN98424). Here she takes us on a fascinating excursion through the songs of Tchaikovsky, transfigured by several of his distinguished compatriots. “The Feinberg transcriptions of three songs from Op. 54 show Malan at her best, played with the greater fluency and innate poetic refinement familiar from her earlier discs. This one is fine but it misses the range of the others” Gramophone Magazine, July 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
