Nicolaou - Etudes & Frames

Tamara Stefanovich (piano), Pierre-Laurent Aimard

NEW PIANO ETUDES BY A CONTEMPORARY MASTER On Etudes & Frames, pianist Tamara Stefanovich presents the music of contemporary master Vassos Nicolaou. In his Etudes, Nicolaou uses virtuosity as a means to explore forms made of complex rhythms, great speed and multi-layered sound. Each of the fifteen etudes has an evocative title, and focuses on specific geometrical-choreographical movements of the hands on the keyboard, as well as on a basic acoustical idea. For Stefanovich, this set has a structural integrity not seen since Ligeti’s Etudes. Nicolaou’s etudes are paired with Frames for two pianos, on which Stefanovich is joined by Pierre- Laurent Aimard. Stefanovich studied together with Nicolaou and has been an important advocate of his music ever since. Dedicating an entire album to his music is a dream come true. Tamara Stefanovich is captivating audiences worldwide with a broad repertoire ranging from Bach to contemporary composers. Etudes & Frames is her third Pentatone album, after having released Influences (2019) and Visions (2022, together with Pierre-Laurent.

Nicolaou: Frames

March 2023

Stefanovich brings Vassos Nicolaou’s weird and wonderful soundworld to life with vivid precision. Pianist and composer have collaborated since they were students, and most of the etudes in this recording are dedicated to Stefanovich.

Stefanovich relates to Nicolaou’s Études just as Pierre-Laurent Aimard did with Ligeti’s, meaning that her scrupulous, caring and fervently committed interpretations carry reference authority.
