About
In Russia, it is said that Pushkin is the sun of poetry, but Glinka is the Pushkin of music, an indication of the high esteem in which Glinka is held in his homeland. Glinka was briefly a student of John Field, during the Irish pianist-composer's time in St Petersburg and, throughout his life, Glinka's music remained heavily influenced by Field. As with the early works by Frédéric Chopin, who was also influenced by Field and Hummel, Glinka’s piano works are written in this ‘brilliant style’, which might also be described as ‘instrumental bel canto’.

The reason to delight in these admittedly thin pickings is entirely down to the effervescent, stylish and sensitive playing of the Vietnamese pianist Ton Nu Nguyet Minh…her deft, lightly pedalled touch in the florid passagework reminded me of Howard Shelley, and that’s saying something: able to make much from very little, as well as the best possible case for Glinka’s uneven output
