LIAPOUNOV: 12 ETUDES D'EXECUTION TRANSCENDANTE - FLORIAN NOACK

Florian Noack offers a clear, imaginative and vigorous reading of these brilliant yet still little-known pieces. Like Liszt's Douze Études d'exécution transcendante, which Lyapunov revered, these visionary and colorful works, sometimes steeped in Russian folklore, require the performer to possess technical prowess and poetic sensibility in equal measure. Florian Noack overcomes their countless difficulties with magnificent brio and exemplary musicality.

‘Nowhere are there so many little- known, unsung and unknown figures as in the realm of music. An entire lifetime would not suffice us, were we to undertake to rehabilitate this obscure horde of neglected composers, to gain recognition for these treasures abandoned in the night of ignorance.’ – Vladimir Jankélévitch
