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
