Virtuoso Transcriptions - CD

ENGLISH

<br><br>This recording contains three absolutely amazing and stunning piano<br /> transcriptions! Igor Khulodey, famous Russian pianist and composer,<br /> wrote in 1988 his Boris Godunov suite, after Mussorgsky’s opera. This<br /> fresco‐like work conjures up the tale of Boris, a Russian tragedy, the<br /> rich orchestral textures captured in larger than life pianism of<br /> unprecedented invention and difficulty, the bell scenes magnificently<br /> caught. The excitement and thrill of Mussorgsky’s orchestral work<br /> Night on Bald Mountain is superbly maintained in Khulodey’s brilliant<br /> transcription, a pianistic tour de force of the highest order.<br /> Tchaikovsky’s Romeo Juliet is transcribed by Florian Noack, as fresh<br /> and colourful as the original.
