Mikhail Glinka - Divertimento brillante on themes of Bellini's "La Sonnambula" (audio + sheet music)

[@alecrechtiene558]

Glinka is so underrated, he was the first big Russian composer he deserves more love.

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

The piano feels so free in this piece, like a leaf blowing in the wind.

Lead doesn't really blow that easily in the wind.

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Lyle Waller i mean’t leaf, kinda embarassing that this was out for 10 hours lmao

@@aramkhachaturian8043 I make tons of typing errors as well. hehe

The pianist is pretty gracious with his part, but the same can be said with the whole ensemble. Glinka was probably an influence for Chopin’s “Brillante” era as the composition date of this work meets the said era, just before -or while- Chopin composed and published his two famous Brillante works (op. 18 and op. 22)

It sounds very much like a Chopin air on someone's melody.

Those cadenzas! Thanks for posting!

[@SamTahbou]

Thank you, this is great. Never heard it before. Glinka was one of my mom's favourites.

Wunderschön....

[@SergioLOSOWICH]

Sounds fantastic!

[@marco00ve]

You are doing the greatest work ever. Thank you. All the best

Remember that young Glinka could play Hummel's Concerto a-moll No. 2. So, he was a world class pianist.

Прелесть какая!

Is this recording from Lugano Festival?

[@xaviercuevas6142]

Too fast cantabiles, for instance "a non credea mirarti" With this tempo lost the grace. Sounds like a Czerny exercice. Very well written the composition but interpretation is not magic.

[@pjbpiano]

First!
