Mykola Kolessa - Suite for Piano Solo (I - Passacaglia)

maria krushelnytska - Piano
6 December 1903 in Lviv (Ukraine). Died: June 8, 2006 in Lviv
Miykola KolessaHaving graduated from the Prague State Conservatory in the class of eminent composer Vitëzslav Novák (student of Antonin Dvorák), Maestro Kolessa set himself the task of combining folk idioms of Ukrainian mountaineers of the Carpathians with 20th century trends surfacing in the energetic music of Bartok, as well as in his teacher, Novák.
Kolessa's music has deep and well-developed Ukrainian roots, it originates from those times when the only musical instrument of people was their own voice. In this case this voice at last started to sing in Ukrainian. Mykola Kolessa introduced additional musical instruments into the orchestra in order to achieve the sounding of folk hutsul instruments and ensemble. There is no copyright infringement intended.

Fantastic music and a great performance! Do you have a link to his music?

Very interesting how Kolessa renders climax augmented to rapidly calm him down in this concise and crisp Passacaille. I heard Kosenko and somehow the Rachmaninov of certain Preludes. Perhaps glimmer of Scriabin too.

Y'avait pas de quoi sauter au plafond à l'époque, en Ukraine ... Et s'il habitait dans la France d'aujourd'hui, aurait-il eu un état d'esprit différent ?
