Grigory Krein: Piano.. - Jonathan Powell - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Grigory Krein (1879–1955), a member of an astonishing dynasty of Russian-Jewish musician- composers, was recognised by his contemporaries as one of the major composers of his day. His piano music charts a stylistic evolution from the early influence of Grieg, Reger (with whom he studied) and Debussy towards a more complex and chromatic language with harmonies that synthesise the soundworlds of Skryabin and Szymanowski; there’s also an echo of the rhapsodic Celtic wildness of Bax. Indeed, all of these pieces are informed by a remarkable sense of energy – latent in some and given its head in others.
