Baroque Suites

Proshayev, Denys;
Mokhtari, Nadia

PCL 10179

An original program presenting 3 Baroque Suites by two Baroque masters and one 20th century master: Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Alfred Schnittke. Apart from their stylistic differences they share the common characteristics of the Baroque Suite, a succession of dance movements displaying charm, grace and irrepressible zest and wit. • Denys Proshayev plays the 6th Partita in E minor by Bach, the Suite in E minor by Rameau and Suite in Ancient Style by Schnittke, an arrangement for piano 4 hands (original violin and piano), in which Proshayev plays with Nadia Mokhtari. • Russian pianist Denys Proshayev has a strong affinity to Baroque and Contemporary music. His Sony CD with suites by Rameau was “Best CD of the year 2006” in Die Zeit. His two previous CD’s for Piano Classics (Schumann Davidsbündlertänze) and Schnittke (Concerto and solo works) were met with great critical acclaim. • The booklet contains an interesting interview with the artist, dealing about playing Baroque music on the piano.
