HAHAHAH FUCK

Da fake furry n tino
Is actually a sped up Leonid Kuzmin rec
I like Horowitz best. Pletnev, Pogo, Berezovsky are very impressive too in their respective ways. I actually don’t remember Gavrilov, but I bet he played it well.
Aside from the recs mentioned, Gilels and Terence Judd are quality.
I started learning da Lark and realised I dont know anything else of Balakirev besides da Bombah so started investisheeyating.
Zo far, not much to report. From what I read, the berceuse and sonata (kentner rec) are worthy so will look forward to those.
There’s the Glinka paraphrase too I used to like when I was about 15… not listened to it since.
He also wrote many smaller pieces, but none were that memorable I thought when I explored them. Cherkassky used to play his Tarantella, which is essentially Chopin’s upside down.
Goldenweiser pupil Inna Malinina–known now for her Medtner recordings - - recorded 2 LPs of Balakirev while still in her prime. I have a crummy 64k copy of one which is all that stops me from uploading it to the tube. Contents:
A1 | The Lark | 5:35 |
---|---|---|
A2 | Reminiscence Of M. Glinka s Opera Ivan Susanin, Fantasia | 13:11 |
A3 | Impromtu On The Themes Of Two Preludes By F. Chopin | 5:33 |
B1 | Waltz-Caprice No. 1 | 6:10 |
B2 | Waltz-Caprice No. 2 | 6:35 |
B3 | Spanish Melody | 4:18 |
B4 | Spanish Serenade | 5:25 |
Tru, the tarantella appears on the quiz
I listened to wilds rec of the parasheeyat…eh…
The first scherzo is rubbish but apparently the other 2 are better.
HAhha da “rubbish”
Tru I vil use diz word around here
Who would do such a thing
Apparently it was one of her students – intimate ties tend to fester into such quietly underhanded spite.
It doesn’t really count as a full Islamey perf tho.
Horowitz in 1936 would have been really something
Diz was pretty gud. A bit pussy:
Plus this early cocktease:
