Firma Melodiya presents the first part of the anthology 'Piano Duet' featuring Elena Sorokina and Alexander Bakhchiyev.

The ensemble of two remarkable musicians, professors of the Moscow Conservatory - Honoured Art Worker of Russia Elena Sorokina and People’s Artist of Russia Alexander Bakhchiyev - was formed in 1968. For more than thirty years they jointly performed in Russia and around the world. In fact, the duet of Sorokina and Bakhchiyev revived the culture of piano duet which used to be so popular in Russia. They have performed more than a hundred compositions of the genre (many of them were premieres in this country) and been recognized as a 'Golden duet of Russia'.

“Their emergence on stage is always a feast of music, joy and beauty”, wrote Leonid Zhivov, a pianist and professor of the Moscow Conservatory.

This disc is dedicated to four hand piano compositions from the period of German romanticism and, along with unpretentious pieces 'for home playing', includes deeply dramatic ones. So, you will hear Schubert’s virtuosic and romantic Fantasia along with his Waltzes and Polonaises, Brahms’ Hungarian Dances, Schumann’s very distinctive Gespenstermarchen and waltzes by Joseph Lanner, a very popular Austrian composer in his time who initiated the era of Viennese waltz - his music very much anticipated the Strauss dynasty.

The recordings were made between 1974 and 1990.

Hungarian Dances (excerpts)
Waltzes (16), Op. 39, extracts

Lanner:
Waltzes Hymens Feierklänge, Op. 115

After Andrei Gavrilov's convincing victory at the International Tchaikovsky Competition (1974, first award) he became world famous. Celloist Ivan Monighetti was one of the best disciples of Mstislav Rostropovich (at the same 1974 International Tchaikovsky Competition he received the second award). A renowned master of contemporary music performance, he is also known for his interpretations of Baroque and Classicism works; romantic music was also abundant in his programs.

RICHTER - THE 100th - ANNIVERSARY EDITION

RICHTER - THE  100th - ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Disk: 50
Type: CD
Kolekce: Piano ConcertoPodkolekce: Klavír

For the 100th anniversary of Sviatoslav Richter, Firma Melodiya presents its
arguably biggest project in its semicentennial history.
The name of Sviatoslav Richter is inscribed in gold in the history of music.
He was not just “more than a pianist,” he was even more than a musician. An owner
of composing, conducting, artistic, directing and acting gifts, a connoisseur of literature,
arts and philosophy, with a will of iron he made all his gifts serve the art of
pianism. An “artist of planetary scale,” as of the critics put it, Richter was like that in
everything - in his unbounded repertoire that he never stopped replenishing until
his last years, in his priestly frenzy of hours-long rehearsals, in the geography and
number of performances, - over 3 500 concerts in 770 places of the world for 55
years of his musical career! (“He was somewhat fathomless, Richter,” said one of his
famous colleagues). However, after he conquered the world (almost literally), he remained
indifferent to ovation and eulogies of the press, painfully experienced each
of the “defects” he noticed in his performance, and at the end of his way confessed
before the journalist Bruno Monsaingeon: “I don’t like myself.”
Of course we inherited numerous recordings from Sviatoslav Richter, live
and studio ones (although he preferred the former to the latter). Hundreds of records
and CDs have been released on domestic and foreign labels (the first of them,
gramophone ones, appeared in the 1940’s while some others became available as
late as in this century). However, even the existing body of recordings captures
neither his complete repertoire nor the entire essence of Richter’s
pieces could sound differently over the years, or even over a day!
And now, Firma Melodiya that recently marked its 50th birthday makes a
unique present for both sophisticated experts and a broad circle of music lovers -
a 50-CD set of Sviatoslav Richter’s concert recordings!
It has to be understood that this collection is far from the complete phonographic
legacy of the great musician. Nevertheless, the set includes plenty of
exclusive, previously unreleased recordings that will make the hearts of even
most erudite connoisseurs and collectors rejoice.
Most of the featured recordings are broadcasts from the concerts played in
Moscow in 1962 to 1983. However, the exceptions are of special interest. These are:
• one of the first Sviatoslav Richter’s extant concert programmes -
Schubert’s last sonata and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition (1949);
• recording of the concert with Nina Dorliak in Bucharest, in 1958;
• recordings of “home” rehearsals with Nina Dorliak.
Alexander Scriabin’s Prometheus, on which he plays a “modest” piano
part in an orchestra, is evidence of Richter’s extremely broad musical interests, or
the recordings of J.S. Bach’s ensemble concertos together with students of the
Moscow Conservatory.
Perhaps the listeners will find a number of “repetitive” tracks surprising.
Richter played (and recorded) many works time and again. Some of them allow us
to track the evolution of the pianist’s art, testify to his constant creative search
and dissatisfaction with himself (the interpretations of Berg’s concertos with different
performers, different versions of Schubert’s Sonata No. 6, Beethoven’s Third
Concerto and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition at an interval of ten and twenty
years, respectively). Some other recordings were played in a shorter stretch of
time (Beethoven’s Sonata No. 1, Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 2), or in succession - from
the mid 1970’s. Considering the growing interest of the public, Richter frequently,
fully or partly, repeated his programmes. So, at an interval of one day he played
Mozart’s Concerto No. 18 and Rachmaninoff’s Etudes-tableaux. In those unique
phonographic documents, a keen ear will detect barely perceptible “atmospheric”
changes that captured an inner aura of a certain concert as each of them was a new
test for the pianist in terms uncompromising strictness to himself, a new step on
the way to Absolute Music.

Disk: 6
Type: CD
Kolekce: Orchestral WorksPodkolekce: Orchestr

Firma Melodiya presents a boxed set dedicated to the 75th anniversary of one of the outstanding contemporary Russian conductors, Dmitri Kitayenko.

“Today he can be undoubtedly considered one of the five or six best conductors of the world. This phenomenon is out of the ordinary”, Herbert von Karajan wrote about Kitayenko after the young Soviet conductor gave a brilliant performance at the international competition in Vienna, receiving the second prize and winning the hearts of the Viennese audience and media. Evgeny Svetlanov also greeted his younger colleague on the pages of the Soviet press as a talented and promising conductor.

A graduate of the Leningrad Conservatory who also completed a postgraduate course at the Moscow Conservatory and a training course at the Vienna Academy of Music, Dmitri Kitayenko had a brilliant start to his conducting career. From 1976 to 1990 he headed the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic Society. Under his leadership the celebrated orchestra substantially expanded its repertoire and actively toured.

During recent decades, the conductor worked with the orchestras of Western Europe, Japan, South Korea and the United States and regularly recorded.

This 6 CD set includes recordings made by Dmitri Kitayenko in the studio and in the concert hall between 1975 and 1987 with the orchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic Society and the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra. The repertoire included showcases the conductor’s stylistic diversity and highest mastery.

These recordings will be of interest to those who remembers Kitayenko’s performances of the past years and to a new generation of listeners as well.

Conservatory: 1981 (1-3), 25 December 1981 (4-6)

Firma Melodiya presents recordings of Brahms and Prokofiev concertos performed by Natalia Gutman and Oleg Kagan.
One of the world’s best cellists, a People’s Artist of the USSR, and an owner of the State Prize of Russia, Natalia Gutman received four competition prizes (the
World Festival of Youth and Students in Vienna in 1959 and the Prague Spring International Music Festival in 1961, a silver medal of the All-Union Competition of Performing Musicians in 1961 and the third prize of the 1962 International Tchaikovsky Competition) when she was a student. In the third round of the Moscow tournament, she made a brilliant appearance with Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony-Concerto, the great composer’s last work which was yet to be estimated by its true worth.
Sviatoslav Richter, Isaac Stern, Viktor Tretiakov, Yuri Bashmet, Eliso Virsaladze and many others have been the cellist’s ensemble partners. Natalia Gutman’s brightest artistic alliance was with her husband and remarkable violinist Oleg Kagan (1946-1990). A pupil of David Oistrakh, silver prize winner of the 1966 International Tchaikovsky Competition and owner of the first prizes of the 1965 International Jean Sibelius Competition in Helsinki and the 1968 International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig, Oleg Kagan was famous as a soloist and ensemble performer, and fine interpreter of classical and contemporary music. His death interrupted his active performing career in the prime of his life. The album features Oleg Kagan and Natalia Gutman playing Johannes Brahms’s double concerto, the German master’s last orchestral piece. The soloists are accompanied by the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Evgeny Svetlanov and Alexander Lazarev.

CD1 - András Schiff, piano
CD2 - A. Schiff, piano / Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra - D. Kitayenko

Firma Melodiya presents never-before-released recordings of András Schiff made at the V Tchaikovsky International Competition in 1974.

One of the most prominent pianists of modern times, András Schiff is nevertheless does not belong to the so-called competition format. The musician who earned the pedestal of philosopher pianist, “a representative of intellectual musical tradition in its high apprehension,” has never had virtuosity, sonic lustre and visual artistry in his sphere of interests.

However, the live recordings of the then 21-year-old Hungarian are of unquestionable interest. Soviet music critic Leonid Gakkel described his impressions of Schiff’s performance in the following way: “From his very first note at the competition Schiff struck me with the vigour of his performance, and that was vigour of the highest festivity… What a touch on the piano, what a charge of energy, what burning fingers! Ultimate activity of a creating spirit at each moment of playing…”

At the competition, Schiff played piano works by Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, variation cycles and concertos by Tchaikovsky and Brahms. In the opinion of Yevgeny Malinin, a competent judge and professor of the Moscow Conservatory, Schiff “read music without a drop of wilfulness: he lived in and with it.” The panel gave him only the fourth prize (“incomplete correspondence” with general virtuosity and competition standards had an impact). However, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that it was the Tchaikovsky Competition that brought the first significant success and international repute to the outstanding pianist.

Kolekce: Význační umělciPodkolekce: Violin and Orchestra

For the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yehudi Menuhim, one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, Firma Melodiya presents a set of historic recordings of his concerts in Moscow in 1945 and 1962. Yehudi Menuhim had a special place in store for him in the constellation of brilliant violinists of the previous century. He gave his first concert when he was seven years old, debuted with an orchestra at ten, and became famous across the world after his triumphant debut in Berlin at thirteen. Despite the hand illness he went through at the height of his performing career, Menuhin continued to perform as actively until the late 1980s. “As the years go by, his art is getting warmer and more humane…” wrote Lev Raaben. A son of Russian emigrant parents, Yehudi Menuhin visited this country several times. His first tour in November 1945 was an important event. It was the first time when a musician from the allied state came to the USSR. His chamber concerts were accompanied by the pianist Lev Oborin and the concertmaster Abram Makarov. He alternated large scale pieces with miniatures. Although technically imperfect, the phonograms of Menuhin’s Moscow concerts of 1945 and 1962 are still priceless phonographic documents of the era. Some of these featured recordings have not been previously released.
