Cyprien Katsaris (piano)About
This album, largely devoted to Russian and Central European composers, offers us tastes of the many aspects of the art of transcription. Melodies by Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Moniuszko and Karłowicz offer up their charms in these arrangements in which transcribers each pits his ingenuity against the others’, imparting to them the qualities of true piano romances.
The orchestral music of Khachaturian lends itself wonderfully to the piano: the extravagant virtuosity of the Sabre Dance keeps easy company with such moving pieces as the Lullaby or the Adagio from Spartacus; Suite no.2 for Two Pianos by Rachmaninov, freed from the constraints of having two performers, comes across with the style of a single player, so gaining in coherence; the Adagio from Symphony no.2 by the same composer is striking in the immediacy of its emotion and in the richness of its transcription for the piano.
