For his Supraphon debut,he has chosen works of the late 19th century by Russian composers, musicthat is firmly grounded in the national tradition but that often seeks out andremains open to stimuli from the surrounding world. The oldest of them,Mussorgsky, was a loner without any depth of academic training, but he greatlyadvanced the boundaries of musical expression. In Pictures at an Exhibition, heaccompanies listeners at an imaginary exhibition of paintings by his late friend,the painter and architect Viktor Hartmann. Rachmaninoff wrote his lovelycycle of piano pieces Moments musicaux under time pressure while facing aprofound existential and creative crisis. His classmate Scriabin, no less brillianta pianist, chose the path of a visionary and an experimenter as a composer,as we can hear from an early opus he wrote for piano (at age 16), the Etudein C sharp minor, Op. 2, No. 1. His later Five Preludes, Op. 16 (1895) reflect theomnipresent Impressionism of Paris at the end of the century. In this repertoire,Jan Schulmeister can demonstrate all of his qualities - virtuosic technique anddepth of musical feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Promenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Gnomus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Promenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Il vecchio castello\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Promenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Tuileries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Bydlo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Promenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Ballet of the Chicken in their Shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Samuel Goldenberg und Schmuÿle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Promenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Limoges, le marché - La grande nouvelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Catacombae - Sepulcrum romanum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~Cum mortuis in lingua mortua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~The Hut on Fowls' Legs - Baba Yaga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePictures at an Exhibition~The Great Gate of Kiev\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive Preludes, Op. 16~No. 1 in B major.
