Description
Eugenio Catone continues the development of Shostakovich's complete piano works by presenting the third volume. Few piano cycles of the 20th century can boast an impact and a resonance comparable to those of Dmitri Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues Op. 87. This work, which holds a special place both in the composer's output and in the history of the genre itself, represents a significant return to writing for his instrument, seventeen years after Piano Concerto no.1 Op. 35 (1933), in a context deeply changed both on a personal level and in relation to the evolution of his musical language. Shostakovich held Op. 87 in special consideration: he recorded several numbers on multiple occasions and devoted himself to transcribing each Prelude and Fugue for several performers, with the aim of recording the entire work with a home recorder, thus making its polyphonic architecture as clear as possible.
