Feinberg - Piano Sonatas, Nos.1-6
Catalog Number: BIS1413
BBC Music Magazine: outstanding.
This album presents the first six piano sonatas by Samuil Feinberg, a brilliant but often overlooked Russian composer and pianist. Composed between 1915 and 1923, these works trace Feinberg’s early modernist voice—intense, chromatic, and emotionally complex, influenced by Scriabin and Schumann. The performances by Nikolaos Samaltanos and Christophe Sirodeau include world première recordings of Sonatas Nos. 3 and 4, highlighting Feinberg’s innovative and expressive piano style.
Special Offer
This album offers a rare and compelling glimpse into the early compositional world of Samuil Feinberg (1890–1962), showcasing his Piano Sonatas Nos. 1–6, composed between 1915 and 1923. Known primarily as a remarkable pianist and teacher, Feinberg is revealed here as a deeply expressive and visionary composer. These sonatas—two of which are recorded here for the first time—demonstrate his stylistic evolution from rich, chromatic intensity to more structured and emotionally driven narratives. Influenced by Scriabin, Schumann, and Bach, Feinberg’s piano writing is both technically demanding and poetically charged. The performances by Nikolaos Samaltanos and Christophe Sirodeau bring these emotionally nuanced and structurally inventive works to life, reintroducing Feinberg as an essential voice in 20th-century Russian music.
