{"product_id":"ekaterina-levental-medtner-complete-songs-cd","title":"Ekaterina Levental - Medtner: Complete Songs [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important vocal projects of recent years: the complete songs on 5 CDs by Nikolai Medtner, performed by Ekaterina Levental and Frank Peters. Nikolai Medtner was born in Moscow in 1880. After piano lessons with his mother he entered the Moscow Conservatory where he had lessons from Pavel Pabst and Sergey Taneyev. He won the prestigious Anton Rubinstein Prize at age 20. A younger contemporary of Scriabin and Rachmaninoff he was destined for a brilliant pianistic career but he chose to concentrate on composition. In 1936 he settled in London where he spent the rest of his life teaching and composing till 1951. Medtner's style is rooted in the 19th century, full-blooded romantic, with a highly personal harmonic and melodic language, often complex and dense, but hauntingly beautiful. His vocal works fuse intricate piano accompaniments with expressive melodies and poetic texts, often by Goethe, Pushkin, or Tyutchev. Ekaterina Levental was born in Uzbekistan. She settled in The Netherlands where she studied at the Conservatory of The Hague. She embarked on a successful career as singer, dramatist and theatre producer. Pianist Frank Peters is a highly respected Dutch pianist, both as soloist and chamber music partner. He is an indefatigable champion of the piano works of Medtner. 'Levental's soft high notes are truly exquisite, and she can do things with the voice that most modern singers cannot, such as to drain the voice of vibrato for expressive effect. All things considered, she is a virtuoso vocalist of the old school, and such artists are extremely rare nowadays... \"We are very lucky to have a pianist like Peters, who fully understands this dichotomy, as the pianist on this album. \" (Artmusiclounge. Com). \"Levental has a dark, rich voice, but her pure tone is never burdened by excess vibrato... She couldn't ask for a more responsive partner than Peters, who reveals an astonishingly deft touch and an uncanny ear for detail. \" Fanfare (Volume 1, 96056). \"The phrasing is so perfect, the sense of line so keen, the rubato so natural sounding, that this seems the only way to sing them... this lucidity is due to the purity of Levental's voice, which she employs with sure intonation and minimum vibrato, as well with an exquisite (but always controlled) play of colour... This is a major release. \" Fanfare (Volume 2, 96061).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Romances Op. 3-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eat the Gates of the Holy Cloister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Romances Op. 3-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Lived to See Desire Vanish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Romances Op. 3-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eon the Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Poems Op. 13\/1 Winter Evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Poems Op. 13\/2 Epitaph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDay and Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillow, Why Do You Lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Wave and the Thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwilight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am Dumbstruck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShould a Smile Gently Brighten Your Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTender Whisper, Timid Breathing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Poems Op. 24-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Have Come to You, Delighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnexpected Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Listen to This Birdsong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy, Dark and Faded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace in Springtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Sit Deep in Thought and Alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems Op. 28-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLord, Send Your Comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Singer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Poems After Pushkin Op. 29-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncantation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems Op. 32-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Echo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems Op. 32-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrospect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems Op. 32-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMessage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems Op. 32-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Loved You Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems Op. 32-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems Op. 32-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eto a Dreamer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems After Pushkin Op. 36-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Angel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems After Pushkin Op. 36-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Faded Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems After Pushkin Op. 36-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Roses Fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems After Pushkin Op. 36-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanish Romance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems After Pushkin Op. 36-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Poems After Pushkin Op. 36-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Poems Op. 37-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleepless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Poems Op. 37-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Poems Op. 37-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Poems Op. 37-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Poems Op. 37-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Winds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Poems Op. 45-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Poems Op. 45-No. 2 the Coach of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Poems Op. 45-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong of Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Poems Op. 45-No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Angel Op. 1 Bis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuite -
