About

The piano music of Sergei Lyapunov (1859–1924) blends the Russian nationalism of the Balakirev circle – of which Lyapunov was a member – with the virtuosic tradition of Liszt.

Although his superb piano-writing combines contrapuntal dexterity and a rich vein of lyricism, much of his output for piano has been neglected.

This chronological survey, covering three decades of Lyapunov’s composing life, contains a number of first recordings.

The Russian-American pianist Margarita Glebov began her studies at the age of five in her native city of St Petersburg and continued her musical career in the United States, making an orchestral debut with the New City Sinfonia in San Diego at the age of fourteen. She made her recording debut in 2010 with Impromptu (Music & Arts CD-1245), a collection of impromptus. International Record Review described it as an ‘auspicious début, strongly recommended for its unusual repertoire and its impressive level of pianism’. Fanfare agreed: Glebov takes in everything with tremendous commitment, understanding, and sensitivity. […] All in all, a splendid debut’.

Glebov traces the evolution of Lyapunov's virtuoso piano music...Sparkling accounts, if short on charisma.

March 2014

Glebov's affinity with Lyapunov's distinctive brand of lyrical virtuosity, couched firmly in the language of the late 19th century, is complete.

13th January 2014

This is a really enjoyable disc of music by an unfairly neglected composer and these pieces show that they are worthy of far greater exposure on disc as well as in the concert hall. The Russian-American pianist Margarita Glebov plays everything with an attractive sensitivity which brings out the very best in the delicate nature of these pieces.
