[Concert Creator RTX] 🎹Recording by Artem Gareev 📝This music (as well as another of his piano pieces, which I also like very much) was composed by Mussorgsky a year before his death. I am not a fan of this composer’s work, but I must note and admit that his work was quite different from that of the composers around him. Unfortunately, the composer suffered from alcoholism from a fairly young age and I am sorry that he passed away so early, because judging by these two piano pieces, there could have been a period in his work when he would have created a lot of beautiful piano music, synthesizing the achievements of Romanticism and the culture he so cherished. 🔑Why I do it, and why exactly: Throughout my interest in classical piano music, as I listen to any piece I like, I look for the best performance for me among a huge number of recordings. What they all have in common is that in one way or another, I hear that a musician who has spent so much time achieving this extreme level of skill still fails to master the music from the first to the last note and doesn’t play the way he would like. The same problem plagued me time and time again as a pianist. Being honest with myself, I find that every time I can’t perform the music from beginning to end the way I hear it. And for me, the most important thing is the music, how it sounds, not how that sound is achieved. Then I decided to start recording music step by step and edit what was already been recorded but wasn’t satisfying. In this work I manage to keep mistakes and inaccuracies to a minimum. Literally - to bring every note, every stroke to the sound that I would like to hear in the end. This work is very similar to what Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Medtner, and other outstanding musicians did in the early twentieth century when they recording their piano performances on mechanical ampico piano’s rolls (for example, it took Medtner two days to record several pieces and two months to edit the roll; now I can spend a week for all of this work and this is even more than enough sometimes).
