A major release.......2000-04-18
This time, they have recorded the famous pianist Vardo Rumessen, whose research on Estonian Music has few equivalents in the world of great music, in a superb repertoire from Composer Heino Eller. This is a very good choice because the latter although being remarkable, is not very well represented on record.
Heino Eller is considered as the Father of Modern Estonian Music. Indeed, he has dedicated his long artistic life as training such composers as Tubin, Pärt and Sumera. That is in itself a remarkable achievement!
As early as the twenties, Eller, brought new winds in his music, notably in his first two quartets (available on old Melodiya LPs), which use motoric rhythm and polytonality. The Preludes were composed from the beginning till almost the end of his composer's life and thus they give you a hint of his evolution in style, which includes his modernist period. Eller is starting on the basement of the late Scriabin harmonies to evolve in a post romantic, and sometimes expressionist style. This results in a music, which happens to be eruptive at times and quite dissonant but carefully packed in a sensitive way. The mood of the music is in the end quite introspective to my mind.
Pianist Vardo Rumessen has all the power required at times in these pieces but also this special sensitivity that makes these pieces sound like delicate jewels of Music.
Another major piece of Eller on CD is his "Elegie" for Harp and Strings available in Chandos 8525 or 7039.
