Un merveilleux musicien, injustement oublié, comme Arensky, Medtner, Kalinnikov et tant d'autres... Bravo à Anthony Goldstone pur son interprétation et un grand merci à Music Gems pour la mise en ligne
Great music, well played by Mr Goldstone - but I would really like Philip Thomson to perform these preludes; his excellent rendition of the Blumenfeld Op 17 absolutely prove that his virtuosity and insight auger well for excellence here.
E-moll is the best one, thank you very much. I am Russian and know a lot about music, but these were the treasures (perles) I've never discovered before. Many thanks to the person who downloaded it. It is such a pleasure. By hte way, it is easy to hear the vocal intonation of preludes, because as for me Gliere was more the composer who wrote better for voice, so I prefer more his romances (that's just my opinion, I do not plan to persuade anyone).
Number three is one of the best but definively not "the best"( to me at least). Gliere´s style is very noticeable in several ones and in others( also very well composed) the "Chopinesque influence" is very clear. A brilliant composer totally underated...
