Sergei Bortkiewicz - Lyrica Nova, Op. 59

“Lyrica Nova” is a set of four lyrical pieces by the exiled composer Sergei Bortkiewicz. The first and third pieces are shimmering and clear in timbre, with the first piece being especially melodious. The third contains a few references to the quartal chords characteristic of middle Scriabin. The second, as the sole minor piece in the set, has a dreary atmosphere. It is also the most harmonically adventurous as well, since it delves into a slew of foreign keys. The fourth contains, as its main texture, a host of towering chords. It is the shortest and most joyous piece.

No. 3 reminds me so much Scriabin, lovely ! Thx for the upload

[@steveegallo3384]

Amertume -- .....yes....and also ARENSKY's Opera (plural of "Opus") 30, 53, 56....36 & 41, 34...Such Treasures...every one!

[@tomotomok1116]

I think so much to remind me Scriabin, for example final mov. of 3rd sonata and beginning of 4th sonata…!! What such a pure and beautiful sounds.

[@α11ε]

The first one is definitely one of the most enchanting pieces in the world

[@tarikeld11]

For me, the look of the score is a form of art itself. You can already tell from the thumbnail that the first piece is gonna be beautiful

[@heartresist9734]

fully true

[@essentialist12]

Same. Very beautiful handwriting, and the way he notates each note is a masterpiece in its own. Each ink mark speaks his volumes, and his voice as an artist

[@thomosramm7336]

My teacher just introduced these two me. He suggested I play three with Scriabin Etude Opus 8 No 12 as my program for a 5 minute competition. I can’t believe so few know these pieces-they’re incredible!!!

I love Bortkiewicz 🌷🌷🌷Thank you for posting ! (Netherlands)

[@tomstarzeck7137]

He is absolutely an amazing composer. . I've been enjoying the third piano concerto best served at full volume..I'm mesmerized .

[@tomstarzeck7137]

After hearing the 3rd piano concerto...I am being drawn into a new and beautiful sound world 🎉

[@ewhyte8059]

The first piece in F Major leaves me with the notion that this composer was hanging out with Antoine François Marmonrel and co. then sat in on a masterclass with Monsieur Debussy himself!

[@harukaeruch.295]

This got to be my favourite piece

[@MicoAquinoComposer]

Great piece!

[@kmrerk]

OMG...so beautiful !

[@maryari3132]

Li ho appena stampati e da domani mattina comincio a studiarli! Meravigliosi!!! ❤

Beata te, anche io volevo studiare questa música, ma é ancora difícile per me. Un abbraccio qui Dal Brasile per te.

[@maryari3132]

@@guto1953 grazie! Certo ci vuole molta dedizione e molto lavoro, per studiare il pianoforte! Ma se trovi un bravo insegnante che ti incoraggia e ti sostiene con opportuni esercizi, vedrai che presto riuscirai almeno a leggere questi brani fantastici! Ti auguro ogni bene e buona Musica!

Does anyone else hear the Scriabin Op.56/3 refrences in no.3? Anyway, thank you! Amazing video

[@karolakkolo123]

Sounds more like Scriabin's 4th sonata

[@SergioLOSOWICH]

Good!

[@konstantinkartashov3808]

Чудесные звуки чудесной Музыки!

[@tarikeld11]

The second piece sounds a bit different than notated. For example at 5:52. Maybe another version

[@fredericscriabinoff7612]

It sounds exactly like the main motive of Chopin's Trois Nouvelles Etudes pour la Methode de Moscheles et Fetis no.1

[@mckernan603]

No. 4 sounds like Albaniz

[@fredericscriabinoff7612]

Cadiz

[@thomasshiraza6376]

6:50

[@willlaw8397]

Worth knowing is that his op 33 no 7 also sounds a lot like Scriabin’s 4th sonata, sometimes even outright copying the melody, so it seems he took a lot of inspiration from Scriabin (and for the better- these are beautiful)
