Description
Cesar Cui (1835-1918) -- a member of the Mighty Handful of Russian composers, whose elegant piano miniatures reveal a lyrical, Central-European Romantic style influenced by Chopin and Schumann. This first recording of his piano works (1877-1888) by Marco Rapetti features mazurkas, serenades, and suites dedicated to Liszt and the Countess de Mercy-Argenteau, who championed his music in Europe. Rapetti, renowned for reviving neglected Russian repertoire, performs with clarity and warmth, illuminating the charm and craftsmanship of Cui's overlooked piano legacy.
