LYAPUNOV: 12 Etudes d'execution transcendante

[Machine Translation] The long-awaited new recording by Etsuko Hirose, based in Paris. This time it is Sergei Lyapunov's (1859-1924) "12 Super Exercises". The recording is a memorial to Liszt, whom Lyapunov admired, and was originally intended to be a continuation of the 12 remaining pieces from Liszt's "Super-Exercises," which he had intended to write 24 pieces in all keys, but ended up writing only 12. Lyapunov is known for his beautiful Russian-style melodies, extremely difficult technique, and unusually high voltage, which he inherited from his teacher Balakirev, but here he combines them with Liszt-style splendor to create his masterpiece. The painting has a strong pictorial quality, and the colorful depictions of folk dances, snowstorms, and the flow of a great river are fascinating. Etsuko Hirose has further increased the power of the spare technique and sustained voltage she showed in the Balakirev album ( MIR181 ), and has pursued the piano to the utmost limits of its functions. Not only her precise technique, but also her Russian singing and bright tone are appealing, and you will fall in love with "Lullaby" and "Fairy Dances". Imported with Japanese obi and commentary.

パリを本拠に活躍する広瀬悦子待望の新録音。今回はセルゲイ・リャプノフ(1859-1924)の「12の超絶技巧練習曲」。リャプノフが崇拝したリストの追悼で作られていますが、もともとリストがすべての調性で24曲作るつもりながら12曲で終った「超絶技巧練習曲」の残り12曲をひきつぐ意図で始められました。リャプノフは、ロシア風の美しいメロディと恩師バラキレフゆずりの極度に難しいテクニックと異様なボルテージの高さが特徴ですが、ここではさらにリスト流の華麗さもあいまり、彼の最高傑作となっています。絵画性も強く、民族舞曲から吹雪や大河の流れまでを色彩的に描いていて魅力的。広瀬悦子はバラキレフ・アルバム(MIR181)で示した余裕の技巧とボルテージの持続を、ますますパワーアップ、ピアノの機能の極限までを追求しています。正確な技巧のみならずロシア的な歌い回しや明るい音色も魅力で、「子守歌」や「妖精の踊り」など聴き惚れさせられます。輸入盤・日本語帯・解説付。
