About

In the early years of the 20th century, Bartók, Stravinsky and Schoenberg were venturing out in their own modernistic directions. Yet, at the same time, there were a number of composers in Russia who continued to compose in a Romantic manner.

With so much attention being paid to the modernists, many of these Romantic composers were largely ignored. Of the seven composers presented in this recital, only Rachmaninov has become a household name. Scriabin has gained considerable respect and Medtner is only just starting to be appreciated by a wider public.

Bortkiewicz, Liadov, Liapunov, and Rebikov wrote attractive, emotionally appealing music, but they have yet to receive the recognition they deserve. The majority of their works are hardly known.

This collection hopes to introduce solo piano works of some of these neglected composers.
