This CD is dedicated to the music of Sergei Bortkiewicz (1877-1952), one of the most unjustly overlooked composers. During his life, Bortkiewicz was oppressed and persecuted by both Soviet and Nazi regimes. A brilliant pianist and composer, he was also a refugee and a survivor of two world wars and a civil war. The style of Bortkiewicz’s music derives from the great Romantic composers of the 19th century. He adopted Liszt’s rich and brilliant piano writing, Chopin’s lyricism and humanness, imagery of Schumann’s character pieces, Wagner’s imaginative harmony. The trademark of Bortkiewicz’s music is his captivating poetic melodies.This new recording contains his Crimean Sketches and a selection of Etudes, Preludes and other Character Pieces.
Pavel Gintov graduated with honors from the Moscow State Conservatory, where he was a student of Lev Naumov and Daniil Kopylov. He holds a Doctor of Musical Art degree from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City, where he studied with Nina Svetlanova. First-Prize winner of the Takamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan he played in Carnegie Hall, the Berlin Philharmonie, Teatro Verdi in Milan and many other important venues.

[@RozarSmacco]

If you like this selection of Bortkiewicz IMMEDIATELY pick up Cypriem Katsaris’ album you will be gobsmacked by the power and beauty.

[@pablokalincausky8359]

Fantastic !!! How happy I feel with this new musical discovery. Thank you very much for uploading these works for piano of this genius unjustly forgotten.

[@LaserGryph]

How is it that I'm just recently discovering this Bortkiewicz? It's great.

[@arlettehellemans2117]

I know Bortkiewicz since long thanks to Cyprien Katsaris and his marvellous CD

[@juancarlosdiazricci5320]

Qué inescrutables y oscuros son los caminos de la fama. Quién puede decir por qué Bortkiewicz no tiene un lugar más reconocido en el paraíso de los grandes. Gracias por contribuir con su música y por compartir esta joya de este compositor maravilloso.

[@ianbd77]

Having just discovered this composer I don't know how I've managed to make it to this age without his music. It has a unique quality and although there are reminiscences of other composers and clear influences, he's got his own style. I absolutely love it! Thanks so much for posting.

[@olhaklymenko4716]

Exquisite. Joy for the soul. I am so glad I finally listened to the whole album. Bravo Pavel Gintov!

Beautifull more of bortkiewicz thalbwrg and alkan in city hall concerts!!!

[@biggreenlzrd]

I haven't heard most of these pieces, thank you for sharing. Some of the later préludes in this set are extremely reminiscent of Scriabin's own études and préludes. A magnificent and under-appreciated composer, for sure!

[@lmhusson]
