Composer: Isaac Albéniz
Artist: Sebastian Stanley (piano)

This album contains the Piano Sonata Nos. 3, 4, 5 and Suite Ancienne Nos. 1, 2 by Albéniz, presented by Piano Classics, a label of Brilliant Classics.

Isaac Albéniz’ most famous work is undoubtedly his suite Iberia, a landmark of Spanish culture and the perfect example of “Españolismo”, the fusing of folkloristic elements in romantic music. Albéniz wrote seven piano sonatas during the 1880s, but only Nos. 3, 4, and 5 survive as complete works. As with so much of his output they are now better known in the form of guitar transcriptions – at least for Nos. 3 and 5 – but the piano originals show the same fantastical imagination and romantic temperament as his masterpiece Iberia, while conforming to a more conventionally Classical form. Their craftsmanship in harmony, scoring, and voice-leading are beyond reproach, but it is the lyric sweep and often playful touches of harmony that secure their place on the fringes of the repertoire.

Greetings from Finland ❕

The fabulous musicians of the 🎼Lahti Symphony Orchestra🎼 really climbed a virtual mountain to make this happen...
Each of the musicians - 62 in all ! - received some written performing instructions and a click track by email from the orchestra´s artistic director / chief conductor Dima Slobodeniuk and then filmed and recorded their part at home in #quarantine. Everything was then sent to a production company, where the music was mixed and this video put together.
All this was done just to bring joy and encouragement to the Finnish people - and everybody around the world - during these difficult times.
So without further due, here´s our Tune For Today: a very special #Lockdown #2020 performance of

🎵Finlandia op. 26🎵 by Jean Sibelius

Dear friends;
Stay safe, take care and look after yourselves and each other. There WILL be better days ahead ❕

The Six Bagatelles of Op 126 formed Beethoven’s last work for piano. When he offered it to the publishers Schott & Co. in November 1824, together with the Consecration of the House Overture Op 124, he described the pieces as ‘6 Bagatelles or Trifles for solo piano, some of which are rather more developed and probably the best pieces of this kind I have written.’ This is, in fact, music that already belongs to the spiritual world of the late string quartets Beethoven began composing in its wake.

Vasilije Mokranjac (1923-1984) was a Serbian Composer. He was one of the most prominent Serbian composers in the second half of the 20th century. Although famed for his symphonies, he also wrote piano music, as well as music for radio, film and theatre. His father, the cellist Jovan Mokranjac, was a nephew of the composer Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac; his mother Jelena, of Czech origin, was also a cellist.
Mokranjac's early output is mostly neo-romantic, but embroidered with elements of stylised folklore: such a stylistic orientation was forced upon young composers after the end of World War Two, when the ideology of Socialist Realism, “imported” from the USSR, was prescribed by the cultural officials. Furthermore, Mokranjac's composition teacher Stanojlo Rajičić was a conservative, who insisted that his students should express themselves in traditional forms of absolute music (such as sonata-form). On the other hand, Mokranjac's mature works exhibit a synthesis of neo-expressionist and neo-impressionistic elements. Since the early 1970s Mokranjac has gradually transformed his style and achieved a synthesis of all compositional procedures that he had used in earlier decades with a new, refined, lyrical sound world, embroidered with elements of neo-impressionism and the New Simplicity.
In 1984, he jumped from the window of his New Belgrade flat, from the never determined reasons. Given his premature death, Mokranjac also had many unfinished works. He is survived by his wife Olga and daughter Alexandra. There is no copyright infringement intended. If you wish your recording to be removed, it can be done, please just leave me an email, which can be found at the channel's about section.

— Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven (17 December 1770 -- 26 March 1827)
— Performers: Alban Berg Quartett
— Year of recording: 1981

String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135, written in 1826.

00:00​ - I. Allegretto
06:22​ - II. Vivace
[Scherzo] 09:50​ - III. Lento assai e cantante tranquillo
17:39​ - IV. Grave ma non troppo tratto - Allegro ("Der schwer gefasste Entschluss")

Beethoven wrote the bulk of this, his final quartet, in a two-month burst of activity amid health problems and shortly after his nephew Karl attempted to commit suicide. But there's not a hint of self-pity or anguish in this compact, good-natured work. For Beethoven's valedictory composition, this quartet is surprisingly small-scaled, finding inspiration in the quartets of Beethoven's one-time teacher Haydn.

François-Frédéric Guy (born 23 January 1969) is a French classical pianist.

Harmonies poétiques et religieuses (Poetic and Religious Harmonies), S.173, is a cycle of piano pieces written by Franz Liszt at Woronińce (Voronivtsi, the Polish-Ukrainian country estate of Liszt’s mistress Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein) in 1847, and published in 1853. The pieces are inspired by the poetry of Alphonse de Lamartine, as was Liszt’s symphonic poem Les Préludes. [+]

Composer: Antonín Dvorák
Artist: Inna Poroshina (piano)

Dvorák considered himself only a modest pianist (he was a string player), and his music for piano has for long been neglected and considered of secondary importance to his symphonies, concertos and chamber works. Whilst undoubtedly true, the output for solo piano does contain some of his more mundane efforts, closer study of the music reveals some gems well worth getting to know, and that all contain his innate gift for melody.

His largest work featuring piano, the G major piano concerto has finally made some headway in the concert repertoire, and has always been championed by leading pianists – Richter and Aimard to name just two. The piano trios, quartets and the quintet all have effective piano parts, and are well laid out for the pianist. So why has the solo piano music been so neglected?

These works span his entire creative life, from the simple little Polka in E of 1860, to the Theme and Variations, Suite in A, and the Humoresques of 1894. These last three works are his masterpieces for piano, and indeed the Seventh Humoresque in G became very famous due its use in a Joan Crawford film in 1946, and through arrangements by Fritz Kreisler and Art Tatum. The Suite in A, dating from his time in America (where he composed his Ninth Symphony ‘From the New World’) is better known today in its orchestral version.

These CDs contain some wonderful little known music by one the best-loved composers – music that deserves a wider audience.
