  • Description

    The piano music of Sergei Lyapunov (1859-1924) blends the Russian nationalism of the Balakirev circle - of which Lyapunov was a member - with the virtuosic tradition of Liszt.Although his superb piano-writing combines contrapuntal dexterity and a rich vein of lyricism, much of his output for piano has been neglected.This chronological survey, covering three decades of Lyapunov's composing life, contains a number of first recordings.The Russian-American pianist Margarita Glebov began her studies at the age of five in her native city of St Petersburg and continued her musical career in the United States, making an orchestral debut with the New City Sinfonia in San Diego at the age of fourteen. She made her recording debut in 2010 with Impromptu (Music & Arts CD-1245), a collection of impromptus. International Record Review described it as an 'auspicious début, strongly recommended for its unusual repertoire and its impressive level of pianism'. Fanfare agreed: Glebov takes in everything with tremendous commitment, understanding, and sensitivity. [...] All in all, a splendid debut'.
