Catalog Number: BIS1242

24 Preludes for Violin and Piano
Vadim Gluzman and Angela Yoffe give the world première recording of Lera Auerbach's 24 Preludes for Violin and Piano (1999), a cycle that travels the complete circle of fifths to touch every major and minor key. Composed when Auerbach — pianist, poet and one of the last artists to defect from the Soviet Union — was only twenty-six, the Preludes reassert the expressive possibilities of tonality, uniting twenty-four miniatures into a single arching composition. The programme is completed by T'filah ('Prayer'), a searching work for solo violin written in response to the Holocaust, and the reflective Postlude for violin and piano. Gluzman plays the 1690 'ex-Leopold Auer' Stradivari, on loan through the Stradivari Society of Chicago. Classics Today awarded the album its highest 10/10 rating.
