Description
The debut recording for an experienced piano trio, who celebrate their fifteenth anniversary by launching a series devoted to the Russian composer Nikolaj Roslavets, known as the Russian Schoenberg. This is the first volume and it couples Roslavets's Third Piano Trio with the famous arrangement of Schoenberg's Verklaerte Nacht by Emmanuel Steuermann. To complete the disc, Shostakovich's First Piano Trio, composed in the same year (1923) and in the same place (St. Petersburg).
"Discovering Roslavets" revolves around the beautiful music of Nikolaj Roslavets (1881-1944) and his intriguing life. For decades efforts have been made to erase his music from the musical canon. In "Silver Night", Brackman Trio debut album and first volume of "Discovering Roslavets" series, Roslaves' unique harmonic innovations and his use of new musical structures are explored.
Often referred to as The Schoenberg of Russia, Roslavets pursued his own compositional pathway. On this album, Roslavets' Trio is paired with one of Schoenberg's most celebrated works. In addition the CD features Shostakovich First Piano Trio, composed in the same period and place as Roslavets'.
