Semyon Barmotin Preludes & Theme and Variations performed by Christopher Williams (world premiere)

Описание

Semyon Alexeyevich Barmotin (1877-1939) was a student of Balakirev
and Rimsky-Korsakov, and his fate under the Soviet regime in the 1930s
remains a mystery, but what survives of his music is impressive in both
scale and content. These world première recordings are filled with
colour and contrast: the Tema con variazioni transforms its material into
a multitude of moods to conclude in a symphonic march, while the 20
Preludes are striking in their sophisticated harmonies and heightened
emotional impact.
