Blumenfeld: 24 Preludes Op. 17
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- The 24 Preludes Op. 17 by Felix Blumenfeld are clearly modeled on Chopin’s Op. 28. While much of the pianism is Chopinesque, it is often expanded upon, with technical devices taken further, while the music itself is undeniably Russian in its adoption of folk song and orientalism.

Composer: Felix Blumenfeld
Artist: Mark Viner (piano)
Felix Blumenfeld (1863-1931) was a virtuoso pianist, conductor and teacher whose class comprised the likes of Simon Barere, Maria Grinberg and Vladimir Horowitz. But he was also a composer of an oeuvre of breathtaking beauty, originality and sophistication.
Blumenfeld was himself taught as a child by his sister’s husband Gustav Neuhaus, father of the de facto founder of the modern Russian piano school, Heinrich Neuhaus. However, it was Rimsky-Korsakov who exercised the most formative influence on the young Blumenfeld, introducing him to fellow Silver-Age composers and to the influential publisher Belaieff, who recognised the young pianist’s talent and then issued many of his works.
Even in his mid 20s Blumenfeld began teaching at the St Petersburg Conservatoire but resigned in protest at Rimsky-Korsakov’s dismissal following the senior composer’s support of the protestors killed in the Bloody Sunday massacre of 1905. At length he returned to his post but left for Kyiv on the outbreak of the Russian revolution, and became rector of the conservatoire founded by Mykola Lysenko (where he taught Horowitz).
Chopin, Wagner and other Romantic-era masters all make their presence felt in the surging melodies and passionate harmonies of Blumenfeld’s own music. Published in 1892 by Belaieff and dedicated to Rimsky-Korsakov’s wife, the Op.17 form a quintessential work of Slavic late Romanticism. They are structured in four books of six preludes, touched with the solemnity of Orthodox chant at points and often aspiring to a grand and tragic idiom despite their relative brevity and tending towards melancholy even in the major-key pieces.
The Op.17 Preludes are complemented in this new recording by Blumenfeld’s study for the left hand Op.36 - relatively familiar as an example of the technique and widely promoted by the likes of Godowsky and Lewenthal. The Op.24 Etude de Concert is a dazzling accumulation of piano sonority requiring the deftest of hands and care over voicing to bring its towering chords to life.
A string of Mark Viner’s albums for Piano Classics have won critical superlatives. Among the latest of them was a collection of Cécile Chaminade (PCL10164) - ‘among the finest yet,’ according to Gramophone, ‘showing the range and ambition of Chaminade in short works, played with an innate charm and understanding of the genre.’

Diese Musik ,oh ja,fesselnd und farbenreich in der Fantasie,so empfinde ich das Zuhören!
Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und ethnisch komponierten Klavierstücke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch anmutigem Anschlag und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
These works by Blumenfeld are a great addition to the Russian canon of composer/pianists. Viner performs with amazing phrasing and astute voicing. The left hand etude really flows like water.
He was not russian, he was born on the territory of Ukraine, that was a part of so-called "Empire" and later Soviet Union.
@@AnastaSia_YTchannel Exactly, the (family) name itself is pure Teutonic/Germanic.
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤수고 많으셨습니다~☕
Bravo Magnifique !! Merci brillant classique 🙏
Wow... what a nice find here!
Beautiful music, thank you!
Beautiful!!
Pure Revelation! Grand!!
.....and yet.....like Arensky's colossal "Morceaux" and "Characteristic Pieces" for Piano (Opera Nos. 22, 25, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 41, 42, 52, 53, 63, 74.....often overlooked.......
value and precious masterpiece.
This music is amazing! Thank you!
The music is indeed amazing but the performance, in places, shows that the Pianist lacks the technical skills to pull off some of the Preludes - several are played mechanical and quite repetitive; I get the feeling that Mr Viner plays several passages to move away from the technical demands ever so quickly...Pity because he is better in his Alkan and Thalberg.
Merci❤❤❤
Grazieeee ❤
Muchas gracias 🫧
Eri Moza -- De acuerdísimo....desde Acapulco!
감사합니다
Good day. Thanks
I discover this talented composer, who succeeded in keeping his position in Moskow while not being in line with the "socialist realism". Quite honestly, Tchaikovski's influence is quite obvious, and in my personal opinion blurs somehow Chopin's influence, since the two styles are difficult to bring together. . Quite surprising for a man who premiered Tristan in Russia and Boris in France. I cannot hear any influence of Scriabin or Szymanowski (they were relatives) but perhaps it was hard under Stalin's regime .......All in all, not the major Russian composer, but excellent works. Would love hearing ne of his oechetral scores .... a cpnductor and Russian composer; who premiered Tristan and Boris ..... 💗💗💗
Who is the artwork in the background from?
Arkhip Kuindzhi (1841-1910) - Ukrainian/Greek painter.
@@markvinerpiano oh my gosh thank you so much. I love all his paintings what a gifted observer and artist
@@markvinerpiano -- Must have studied with Bierstadt......
Beautiful 🤩 but I wish the words weren't infront of that Beautiful artwork. 😉
There are several complete sets of the Op 17 available; its a matter of personal taste but I prefer the version by Philip Thomson, perhaps a vast contrast to his complete religious playings of Liszt...
In places the playing is very good however in the preludes which rely on bravura alone, Mr Viner falls short in his technique...
Отлично. И русские березки! Хорошо, что он не дожил до украинских карателей в Бабьем Яре.
Putin bot.
@@isokani Biden bot? Then, you will forget soon. :)
Please go and wash your brains.
Because you might not know, Blumenfeld was born in Elizavetgrad, now Kropyvnytskiy, to an Austrian-Jewish father and Polish mother. I have performed his music not only in his hometown, but also internationally (Elbphilharmonie etc). I see that your channel has no content. I rest my case.
