Glinka: Complete Piano Music, Vol. 1
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Glinka found his true voice as a composer only after he began using Russian folk music as his inspiration. He then became the founder of the Russian national school and might have been the first nationalist composer anywhere. Most of this piano music was written before Glinka's great discovery, and despite Victor Ryabchikov's fervent program notes in support of the music, it isn't very significant. Until his great revelation, Glinka wrote talented, entertaining salon music, nothing more. If you're interested enough in the composer to want to hear these mostly early works, though, Ryabchikov is an outstanding advocate, playing with obvious commitment, a wide range of tonal color, and the kind of expression you'd want to hear in Chopin's music. Beautiful recorded sound quality, too. --Leslie Gerber

Good, but not as "nationalistic" as expected.......2004-07-07
Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev, along with Michael Glinka, was a cofounder of Russian nationalistic classical music. As successor and heir to Glinka, he was harder working, but emotional problems tended to limit his potential. Nevertheless, he accomplished quite a lot! He founded a nationalistic music school which produced at least four world-class musicians. Together with Borodin and Tchaikovsky, he developed the Russian symphonic style.
An accomplished pianist, he composed a fair amount of piano music, of which this CD contains a good cross-section. The selections are very competently performed. Hearing them, one cannot help but feel that his piano music is neither as original nor as nationalistic as much of his other music. The first impression is "Schumann or Chopin."
There are exceptions though. His most famous piece is the fiendishly difficult and original "Islamey." (Even here, however, there are similarities to Schumann's Toccata.)An exciting work based on oriental themes, it is perhaps a bit long, and tends to ramble toward the end.
All in all, for those interested in the development of piano music, and Russian music in particular, this is a real gem!

This is Balakirev, not Glinka.......2002-08-17
This CD set is just fine, and nice to see, since Balakirev can be hard to find. But the composer is all Balakirev, not Glinka, Chopin, Beethoven, etc. Whoever wrote the notes was confused by what "Transcriptions" are. They are Balakirev's compositions based on Glinka, Chopin, etc.
