Schnittke: Concerto for piano, Variations, Improvisation

USSR State Academiс Symphony Orchestra;
Lyubitskaya, Victoria

FUG 532

Victoria Lyubitskaya, one of Lew Naumov's and Vladimir Krainev's most talented students, is a soloist with the Moscow State Philharmonia. For her very first recording outside Russia, we discover her phenomenal talent in an innovative programme that reaches back to the very roots of Schnittke's creativity. With the kind assistance of the composer's widow for this project, the works are here interpreted with the utmost respect for Schnittke's original intentions. In the piano concerto dating from 1979, we also have the privilege to listen to the legendary Russian State Academy Orchestra, previously acclaimed under Evgueni Svetlanov which, after a few difficult years, is back in full swing under the conduct of Mark Gorenstein (who previously founded the Molodaya Rossiya symphony orchestra, now conducted by Yuri Bashmet).
