About
The first part of the Anthology comprises 55 CDs with works presented in chronological order from Glinka to Lyapunov. The bonus CD includes recordings of Nikolai Medtner’s piano works performed by Svetlanov the pianist. He had a special fondness for the outstanding composer’s music and in many ways contributed to the return of his music into the context of contemporary performing culture.
“There is so much good music created that a few lives wouldn’t be enough to play it or listen to it. It’s really so. As it is the case with any other activity, the main thing about a musician’s activity is not to stop searching and keep moving on all the time! Perfection knows no limits. The more you work the better you see how much is yet to be done. The ever growing feeling of responsibility for your labour is the right incentive that helps you meet new and even more complicated challenges.” – Evgeny Svetlanov
