Wow… the first piece sounds like a beautiful cold winter morning. Thanks for introducing me to this composer! Never heard of him before but immediately fell in love.
Я в своё время довольно много переслушал Лядова. И никогда я не откладывал, не прерывал слушание, как в случае, например, с Римским-Корсаковым или Аренским.
This!! I hate when people use this to display a composer as inferior. Rachmaninoff was quite conservative (at least until his later works op.39-45) and got quite a lot of critique from people saying he lived in the wrong age. He’s deservedly so regarded now as one of the greatest romantic composers.
Оригинальность - не критерий высшей ценности. Ценность - позитивный заряд, который музыка Лядова безусловно несёт. Даже драматическая последняя прелюдия. Все они погружали в определённое состояние, чаще всего - задумчивое или эйфорическое, заставляли испытывать одухотворенность. Часто после прослушивания хорошей музыки, в больших количествах, потом в голове начинает роиться своя собственная! Это и есть величие настоящего Искусства. Скрябин, особенно ранний, тоже отнюдь не отличается оригинальностью. Но они, Скрябин с Рахманиновым, уже с их детских опусов интересны: там присутствуют законченная мысль и полноценно созданное настроение. Эта неоригинальная музыка, как и лядовская, захватывает с первого же знакомства. Наверное, потому, что там много искреннего спонтанного подрыва и мало западной салонно-ученой схоластики😊
Thank you for these little gems. One of favorites is the prelude in b flat minor. PS I am on my I pad with Bose head phones, and the sound is excelent.
Check out Cesar Cui preludes. He has a set of 25 preludes. Some of them are really outstanding. The best preludes from lesser known non-famous composers I have come across.
Скрябин в теоретическом плане полностью доверял Лядову и порой спрашивал у него совета. Я читал про один случай, когда Лядов вписал в его сонату полстраницы. Впрочем, и у композиторов, и у писателей, и у художников такие отношения - не редкость. Кто-то кому-то по-дружески пишет страницу текста или что-то дорисовывает на полотне.
You are the first person to ask this. It’s different for each piece. Some of them I have known, studied, or performed before, while others are completely new to me, so I have to read and discover them before deciding on an interpretation for a recording. After spending way too long creating recordings before this channel, I realized that the most time-consuming part of practicing at a certain level is not technique or interpretation, but the act of repetition to make everything flow smoothly. The object of my channel is to share forgotten music at a high quality, not to perform it live, so I don’t need to spend my time memorizing and repeating passages. Instead, I practice in sections, almost immediately at tempo when possible, and I record in chunks. The MIDI format allows each “take” to blend smoothly and I can make fine-tuned adjustments in post. There are downsides to this method and it is highly specialized to what I do for this channel, but I do find it enriching to be constantly immersed in fresh music. At times it feels like I am acting as more of a conductor than a pianist. When I am preparing for a traditional performance, though, it takes me just as long as anyone else. Still, this hybrid method has improved my reading skills and made my ability to interpret unfamiliar music much more efficient.
@@PianoCurio Thanks for the info. This makes the extreme quantity of work you're putting out seem at least possible. I estimate that sonata video of yours would take me over a year if it wasn't chunked up.
@@declandougan7243 the sonata video took me about 11 days working nearly constantly in my free time outside of my job. I did the Fibich video in 3 hours (which backfired because the interpretation wasn’t as good as it could’ve been). By contrast, I practiced the Widor Suite in B minor (26 mins.) the normal way for about a year and a half, off and on, before I attempted to record the video in March. Once I realized I didn’t have to spend that much time on new music, I never looked back. So, I am not some insane pianist (ok maybe in one sense of the word I am), I have just hacked my process for efficiency.
Love the first one. I have to recomend his piece "music box", it's so lovely.
Yes. Also, I noticed it as incorporates some of the moves from Chopin's "Prelude in E-minor," (an isolated descending harmoinc-minor scale).
@tr7938 You don't believe in idly picking favorites?
describing him as a perfectionist is truly a great way to put it. This music just sounds so carefully crafted. Beautifully played!
Glad I subscribed. Adding these to my sight reading list. Lovely!
very very nice
Very nice melodious NORMAL music. Can't wait to use some in church -- thank you

Thank you so much for this selection, it's awesome !
The Barcarolle is also criminally underplayed - a gorgeous work. Thank you for these ❤
I love the barcarolle! My other favorite is the Polish theme variations, such a joy to hear and play.
beautiful pieces, I'm glad you shared these
Very interesting to hear this music and excellent piano playing, technically and musically. Thank you!
Some interesting compositions.
Thank you very much for this recordings and for your thoughtful comment.
Even though Lyadov's music is not particularly original, it doesn't make his music bad in any way

@@БорисШалагінов thats very true!! nearly every piece lyadov writes is perfect

True! It's either good or it is not.
Mozart sonatas weren't more original than Haydn's, they were just better written. Etc etc..
Oh, I love the last one! Mostly because of I fall in love with Rach himself)
Thanx for sheet, I didn't hear Lyadov before this time.
I've played the Prelude Pastorale! It's such a gorgeous piece, and so are the others as well.
Glad to hear someone else has played it! I think it deserves more love, it's a perfect little gem.
Thank you for these little gems. One of favorites is the prelude in b flat minor. PS I am on my I pad with Bose head phones, and the sound is excelent.
It was my pleasure to curate and present them, so glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
Amazing preludes! I wonder if someday i will be featured as an unknown composer someday in a youtibe video in the future 😂
Check out Cesar Cui preludes. He has a set of 25 preludes. Some of them are really outstanding. The best preludes from lesser known non-famous composers I have come across.
Good recommendation! Like Lyadov, Cui excelled in miniatures. I haven’t given all of them a listen but will revisit them now that you mention it.
The pianist sounds like a piano roll.
7:56 this passage makes me think of Scriabin’s Prelude Op. 11 no 11. Same harmonic progression.

This is music
As i was reading the description, i had to stop the 1st prelude from playing beacuse it was simply too beautiful to be kept as background music lol
❤
The last one looks pretty similar to the third movement of Scriabin's piano sonata №1 (1893).
Good catch! I hadn’t thought of that but it certainly bears a resemblance.
I agree with you.
I thought so too.
first one is clairly inspired by Chopin's Prelude n.4
6:23 chopin etude
Specially interesting are his late piano works, quite similar at Scriabin harmony
Tell me you heard all works of Chopin in your childhood
2:03
What's your process for preparing this large volume of performance content?

Who's the pianist?
This is my own recording
Wow getting the harry potter theme in the first movement. Fantastic music. Respect for the composer.
