Melodiya presents a unique album of violin sonatas of Edvard Grieg and Ludwig van Beethoven, and a duet for violin and piano of Franz Schubert performed by Kreisler and Rachmaninoff. The recordings were made in the 1928 in the United States.
It is probably difficult to think of another ensemble of the same scale where each of the partners is a great musician who has reached the pinnacle of perfection in his art and a composer with his own unique style.
Beethoven:
Violin Sonata No. 8 in G major, Op. 30 No. 3
Violin Sonata No. 8 in G major, Op. 30 No. 3
Grieg:
Violin Sonata No. 3 in C minor, Op. 45
Schubert:
Grand Duo for Violin and Piano in A Major, D574
Fritz Kreisler (violin) & Rachmaninov (piano) |

Firma Melodiya presents sting compositions by Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms performed by David Oistrakh.
The prominent violinist did not part with his violin for more than sixty years, and indeed, he left numerous recordings made in studio and at concert to us. However, Oistrakh’s studio work during his last years, when he was not that active as a concert performer, is particularly interesting, and his chamber programmes were viewed as true revelations.
Oistrakh renders a songful and sunny world of Schubert’s duet and fantasia, and restrained emotions and hidden drama of Brahms’s first sonata with an inimitable, unique intonation and nobility of tone. A sensitive listener might think that the music had waited for its performer for a century.
In those years, Frida Bauer, a remarkable pianist and soloist of the Moscow Philharmonic Society, was the violinist’s ensemble partner. The recordings
were made in 1970-1974. |

Firma Melodiya presents an album of young but already world renowned musicians, violinist Aylen Pritchin and pianist Lukas Geniušas.
A native of St. Petersburg, Aylen Pritchin graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where he studied with professor and People’s Artist of the USSR Eduard Grach. Aylen is a winner of numerous awards and prizes, including a special prize of the judges of the XIV Tchaikovsky International Competition in 2011 and a grand prix of the Long-Thibaud Competition in 2014.
He is a scholarship holder of the New Names and Russian Performing Art foundations, and a participant of the Stars of the 21st Century project of the Moscow Philharmonic Society.
The name of Lukas Geniušas became known in wide quarters of domestic music lovers after he received a silver medal at the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2010. In 2015, the pianist was awarded the second prize of the XV Tchaikovsky International Competition and won rave reviews from the critics. A grandson of the famous pianist and professor
Vera Gornstayeva, Lukas Geniušas received his first contest award at the age of twelve. Today he plays concerts at the most prestigious venues of the world.
“It was clear right from his first touch upon the keyboard - we have a world class pianist before us … a remarkable and mature master with unforeseen prospects of a developing talent,” wrote a well-known critic about Lukas Geniušas. Aylen Pritchin and Lukas Geniušas perform works by Russian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries: Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s minicycle Souvenir d’un lieu cher, violin transcriptions of Igor Stravinsky’s ballet suites (co-written with Samuel Dushkin) and Leonid Desyatnikov’s Like the Old Organ-Grinder. |

Firma Melodiya continues the series of compact discs dedicated to the December Evenings Festival that takes place at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. This album, like the previous one, is dedicated to the 1985 festival 'World of Romanticism' and includes recordings featuring Sviatoslav Richter.
The atmosphere of December Evenings, an event initiated by the great pianist, differed from usual philharmonic concerts. The spirit of music as an inseparable part of the 'fusion of arts' the romanticists dreamt of was invisibly felt in each number; a sensitive listener can catch it in these, perhaps technically imperfect, concert recordings from thirty years ago.
The works by Schubert, Schumann and Chopin were performed by Sviatoslav Richter in ensemble with his outstanding contemporaries, violinist and David Oistrakh’s student Oleg Kogan who passed away prematurely, violist Yuri Bashmet, cellist Natalia Gutman and clarinettist Anatoly Kamyshov.
Along with popular compositions (Chopin’s Polonaise-fantaisie, Ballade and Cello Sonata, and Schubert’s Sonata for violin and piano), the programme featured works which were less known to the audience - Schumann’s Piano Trio, his late opuses Fairy Tale Pictures, Op.113 for viola and piano and Fantasy Pieces, Op.73, in their original version for clarinet and piano.
Chopin:
Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 65
Natalia Gutman (cello)
Polonaise No. 7 in A flat major, Op. 61 'Polonaise-fantaisie'
Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52
Schubert:
Grand Duo for Violin and Piano in A Major, D574
Oleg Kagan (violin)
Schumann:
Fantasiestücke, Op. 73
Anatoly Kamyshev (clarinet)
Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63
Oleg Kagan (violin), Natalia Gutman (cello),
Märchenbilder (4), Op. 113
