A student of Rimsky-Korsakov and Balakirev and a contemporary of Stravinsky and Rachmaninov, SEMYON ALEXEYEVICH BARMOTIN (18771939) flourished in the years before the Russian Revolution. His was probably the first Ballade for solo piano written by a Russian composer and this large-scale work exemplifies his perfect control of expansive form, Lisztian virtuosic impulse and thematic variety. The two sets of Morceaux enshrine other essential elements of his art folkloric influences, crystalline sonorities and true expressive depth. Christopher Williams third instalment in this acclaimed cycle features all world premire recordings.
