Proshayev and his partner Nadia Mokhtari truly absorb the spirit of the [Gogol Suite]... Proshayev has a clear sound and a limpid technique. He favors clarity over emphasis, without ever neglecting drama.\" An earlier collection of Rameau had also been acclaimed by critics, and his latest album ingeniously unites his deep affection for Schnittke with his balance and imaginative tonal palette of the Baroque masters. An interview in the booklet reveals that it was \"the incredible beauty and harmonious refinement\" of Rameau's music that captivated Proshayev, despite the difficulties of transferring a completely original and richly ornamented musical language from the harpsichord to the piano: \"On the modern piano, these ornaments offer such a variety of possibilities, unsuspected nuances, and such freedom that these technical challenges ultimately give way to pleasure.\" Proshayev's interpretative pleasure will be shared by the listener in these new recordings of Rameau's Suite in E minor, judiciously paired with Bach's Sixth Partita composed in the same key. For Proshayev, the challenges of interpreting Bach are at least as spiritual as they are technical: \"Bach's music is the quintessence of the highest concentration of emotions and spirituality.\" He concludes with a piano four-hand arrangement of the Suite in the Old Style, which Schnittke originally composed for violin and piano as a homage to the Baroque masters, without the irony and distance that characterize some of his other \"polystylistic\" musical experiments.","brand":"Denys Proshayev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57475787784536,"sku":null,"price":23821815.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/denys-proshayev_bach-rameau-schnittke-suites-baroques-pour-piano_2026_disco-outhere-distribution-france","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
