Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI / GERSTEIN KIRILL (Arr.). In the Silence of the Secret Night is a piano arrangement of Sergei Rachmaninoff?s setting of Afanasy Fet, taken from the composer?s song cycle Six Romances, Op. 4 (1890-93). The poem describes a fitful lover?s nocturnal yearning. This three-minute piece draws on pianist Kirill Gerstein?s idiomatic grasp of the composer?s music, transcribing the song in a way that recalls Rachmaninoff?s writing from the early 1900s. It makes for an ideal vignette in a recital programme or elegant encore, suitable for advanced players. 'In the transcription of Rachmaninov?s song?[Gerstein?s] musicianship was at once liberated and liberating.' The Observer (Fiona Maddocks) / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Piano

Dans les années 1914-1917, le compositeur russe, Sergueï Rachmaninoff (1873-1943), publia deux cahiers d'Etudes-Tableaux : un mot qu'il inventa et qui désigne à merveille la fusion d'une étude technique et d'un morceau de caractère imagé. Tout comme les études de concert de Chopin ou de Liszt, elles constituent, tant sur le plan technique que celui de l'interprétation, une pierre de touche pour chaque pianiste. L'Etude-Tableau en mi bémol mineur compte parmi les pièces les plus célèbres de ce recueil avec ses accords sombres et, à l'intérieur, une mélodie élégiaque que seul Rachmaninoff était capable d'écrire - pas surprenant dès lors que Vladimir Horowitz joua ce morceau régulièrement durant ses concerts et l'enregistra à plusieurs reprises. / Piano

Only few pieces have ever won over the audience and haunted their composer as much as Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-sharp minor. The composer virtually complained that 'people want to have it played all the time'. The present new edition of this 'highlight' of the piano music repertoire considers the differences between autograph and first edition very carefully, comparing them with the composer's recordings. / Piano
