Product Description
Elena Ulyanova - Caldine began to study piano at age 5 in Crimea, Ukraine. In 1997, in Moscow, she was a prizewinner in the Second International Rachmaninov competition. She received the Master of Music degree from Moscow Conservatory in 1998. She has performed in Russia, Europe, Asia, and United States in solo and orchestra concerts.
Franz Liszt placed the role of pianist in a new perspective. The solo recital was his innovation about 1840. His virtuoso attitude resulted in a new world of possibility. The art of transcription reached new heights under his pen. His association of nationalism, religion, philosophy, literature, art, and nature into his music was an unprecedented extension of the 19th century romanticism.
Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes began around 1826, as simple exercises. In 1838, he revised them to technical models of virtuosic gluttony. The versions on this disk are from 1851.
Arthur Friedheim vividly elucidated "Harmonies Du Soir":
I recall one of my later lessons with him (Liszt) at the Villa d’Este, in Tivoli, not far from Rome. Before I had time to begin, he called me to the window. With a wide sweep of the arm, he pointed out the slanting rays of the declining sun, which were mellowing the landscape with the delicate glamour of the approaching twilight. "Play that," he said. "There are your evening harmonies.
Liszt borrowed the title of "Apres une lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi sonata" from a poem by Victor Hugo. Hugo’s poem reads "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." It begins with tri-tones, which have been called "diabolus in musica." We can hear from Dante’s Inferno "Here sighs, with lamentations and loud moans, resounded through the air pierced by no star, that e’en I wept at entering. Strange tongues, horrible cries, words of pain, …"
