Dive into the captivating world of classical piano with Pavel Kolesnikov's exquisite album, "Stravinsky: Le Sacre du printemps - Ravel: Ma mère l'Oye." Set for release on June 13, 2025, under the prestigious harmonia mundi label, this album is a masterful blend of two iconic works, each rendered in a four-hand piano version that showcases the intricate beauty and depth of these compositions.
The first half of the album is dedicated to Igor Stravinsky's revolutionary ballet score, "The Rite of Spring" (Le Sacre du printemps). Kolesnikov's interpretation brings to life the primal energy and rhythmic complexity of this groundbreaking work, originally composed in 1913. From the haunting "Introduction" to the frenetic "Sacrificial Dance," each movement is a testament to Kolesnikov's technical prowess and artistic sensitivity.
The second half of the album features Maurice Ravel's enchanting "Ma mère l'Oye" (Mother Goose), a suite of five piano duets based on fairy tales. Kolesnikov's performance captures the whimsical charm and lyrical elegance of these pieces, making them a delightful contrast to the intensity of Stravinsky's work. The album concludes with the serene "Le Jardin féerique," leaving the listener with a sense of tranquility and wonder.
With a total duration of 49 minutes, this album is a compact yet comprehensive exploration of two essential works in the classical repertoire. Pavel Kolesnikov's nuanced performances and the high-quality production by harmonia mundi make this a standout release for any classical music enthusiast. Whether you're a seasoned listener or new to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
