Robin Zebaida Plays Anatol Liadov's Prelude in B flat minor, Op 31, no 2 

Anatol Liadov, who died 100 years ago in 1914, was born in 1855, roughly halfway between Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. The sweeping gestures and extravagant scale of his more illustrious compatriots were largely alien to Liadov, a miniaturist par excellence. Simplicity is the hallmark of Liadov's compositions, and the vast majority of his works last for just a few minutes.
